About Liliana

Liliana Palacios, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and life changes. She also supports concerns such as addictions, parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Liliana uses straightforward, skills-based methods to address the concerns people bring. She focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing alternatives that fit daily life. Clients can expect clear steps to try between sessions and regular check-ins on what is or isn’t working.

Her background includes a move from Mexico City to the United States, study in organizational psychology, and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling. Early volunteer work in crisis services and community mental health shaped her approach to practical support during difficult times. Over the years she has worked with survivors of trauma and people navigating major life transitions.

Liliana has experience supporting parents of children on the autism spectrum and caregivers managing aging or chronic illness. She lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy among the approaches she uses. These inform how she structures sessions and homework between meetings.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She listens, offers observations, and suggests concrete exercises to test in daily life. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching tool to schedule a first session and choose the language they prefer.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and habits that keep problems going and trying concrete behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and practice actions that support those values, even with difficult feelings present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client's own goals and pace rather than following a fixed script.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those aims, and adjust based on what is most useful. That might mean mixing CBT skill practice with ACT exercises and straightforward check-ins between sessions.

The site describes how to begin but does not list specific session formats in this profile. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can suggest activities you can do between meetings and practical ways to test new responses in everyday life.
