About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Palacios helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career strain, and major life changes. She also offers coaching to clarify goals and build confidence.
Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people take small, useful steps forward. Palacios uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She shapes sessions around individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Clients can expect a calm, focused space to sort through feelings and decisions.
How Elizabeth works
Her methods draw from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people find motivation and concrete next steps. These tools are applied in simple, everyday language.
With 20 years of experience and a Texas LPC, Palacios combines long experience with down-to-earth guidance. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns, and addresses issues like workplace stress, prejudice, and immigration-related strain. She also supports people coping with cancer or caregiving burdens.
Sessions tend to focus on practical skills - communication strategies, setting boundaries, building self-love, and planning career moves. The goal is clearer choices and more steady coping. People leave with actions they can try between sessions.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. It emphasizes empathy and supporting people to find their own solutions, which fits well into conversation-based video or phone sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, connects thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing stress and changing unhelpful habits. CBT techniques often work well through structured video sessions or through short written exercises sent by message.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
