Dr. Elizabeth Palacios , LPC

Dr. Elizabeth Palacios helps people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and major life changes. She also supports clients concerned with motivation and coaching. Her approach is practical and respectful, and she works with sensitivity to diverse backgrounds, including women's issues.

Palacios practices in Texas and brings 20 years of professional experience as an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She focuses on clear conversations that identify what matters most and on building steps that people can try between sessions.

In sessions she adapts to each person's needs. Conversations are client-centered and goal-focused, with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find what will keep them moving forward.

Common topics she addresses include coping after sexual assault or other abuse, handling caregiver stress or cancer-related strain, workplace and communication problems, and navigating prejudice or immigration-related concerns. She also helps people work on self-love, forgiveness, and defining life purpose.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She invites clients to set the pace and to try concrete steps between meetings. The emphasis is on practical progress and on helping each person build confidence and clarity over time.

Approaches you can use online with a licensed counselor

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at your pace so the conversation follows what matters most to you. It helps people who need understanding and a place to sort out feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and then practices new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is useful for tackling low self-esteem, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to choose tools that fit your preferences and situation.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters most. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or fit a session into a short break. These options give flexibility to meet during busy days or when travel is difficult.
