Liliana Palacios, LPC

Liliana Palacios, LPC, focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and calm. Her approach suits people looking for clear tools and steady support during hard moments.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Liliana keeps the work collaborative and plainspoken so clients can use what they learn between visits.

Her career spans 19 years and began after studies in Organizational Psychology and a Master’s in Professional Counseling. Early volunteer work in crisis services and community mental health shaped her focus on listening closely and responding to real needs. Liliana has supported people through grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and major life changes.

She also has experience helping parents of children on the autism spectrum and caregivers facing aging or chronic illness challenges. Her practice pays attention to relationship struggles, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues, aiming to rebuild trust and connection where it has eroded.

Sessions are offered via multiple online formats in Texas and conducted in English or Spanish. Liliana aims to be direct, warm, and practical - working with each person to set realistic goals and track progress over time.

How Liliana Uses Practical Approaches Online

Liliana blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that aim to change unhelpful thinking and increase actions that matter to the client. CBT helps identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety or depression and teaches concrete skills to test and shift those thoughts. ACT emphasizes learning to notice painful feelings while committing to values-driven steps that move life forward.

She also brings a client-centered stance, which means she listens first and tailors the work to each person's pace and preferences. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort - the therapist and client will try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan together based on goals and comfort.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing support, quick reflections, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
