Liliana Palacios, LPC

Liliana Palacios, LPC, focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the next chapter in their lives. She listens first, then helps clients name what's happening and take small, doable steps toward change. Many people come to her with relationship strain, grief, anxiety, or the sense that life needs to shift direction during midlife transitions.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions tend to center on clarifying values, improving communication, and building skills to handle intense feelings. She uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other relational approaches to help clients notice patterns and make different choices.

Palacios practiced in community mental health and crisis services early in her career after earning a master’s in professional counseling. She has nearly 19 years of experience working with people facing trauma, depression, and major life changes. Her background includes support for caregivers and for parents of children on the autism spectrum.

She offers therapy in English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful, culturally aware space for clients. Her style is warm and collaborative; she balances support with practical problem-solving and honest feedback. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on everyday steps that lead to clearer priorities and better coping.

People who choose her often want steady guidance through relationship strain, career shifts, grief, or addictive patterns. Before booking, confirm the current session options to match scheduling needs and language preference.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and then commit to actions that match those values. It is useful for midlife transitions, anxiety, and deciding what to prioritize. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can be helpful for depression, stress, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathic listening and support while clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adapting them as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet with a bilingual therapist who can switch between English and Spanish to match what feels most natural.
