About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Pacheco is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of clinical experience based in Arizona. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and addiction. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions are practical and aim to build skills for managing symptoms and everyday problems. Elizabeth also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches fit the goals.
Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns and immigration-related stress. She has experience with first responder issues and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also supports people navigating non-monogamous relationships and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Elizabeth provides services in both English and Spanish. She emphasizes clear, direct strategies and collaborative planning so people leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. Her background spans community and clinical settings over two decades.
People who want straightforward, skills-focused work often find her approach useful. She asks about immediate needs and practical goals, then uses brief, structured techniques to test what helps and what doesn’t.
How CBT and related methods are used in online sessions
Elizabeth frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase stress and anxiety and then practice different, more helpful responses. CBT techniques are concrete - thought records, behavior experiments, and graded exposure - and are useful for mood, anxiety, and many everyday problems.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s own goals and to shape sessions around what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy components are applied when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness skills are needed; these teach practical coping tools that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that match those goals. They check progress regularly and adjust techniques based on what helps in daily life.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t possible. Discussing preferred ways of working at the first appointment helps ensure sessions fit into everyday routines.
