About Liliana
Liliana Palacios, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship struggles, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and the stress of major life changes. She also helps people wrestling with career questions, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Liliana listens in both English and Spanish. She spent her early years studying Organizational Psychology in Mexico City before moving to the United States. While raising her two daughters she completed a Master’s in Professional Counseling and began volunteering in crisis services and community mental health.
Her background includes long-term work with survivors of trauma, people recovering from domestic violence, and those navigating major transitions. She has supported parents of children on the autism spectrum and caregivers dealing with aging or chronic illness in loved ones. These roles shaped the practical focus she brings to sessions.
In sessions she works collaboratively, helping clients notice patterns and try concrete changes. Treatment draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral tools and acceptance-based work to manage anxiety, mood, and difficult memories. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior approaches and client-centered techniques to improve communication and emotional regulation.
Clients can expect a direct but respectful style. Liliana helps people set achievable goals and develop daily strategies for stress, relationships, and decision points. For those who prefer Spanish, she offers bilingual conversation and clinical work in that language.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions aligned with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and decisions about relationships and work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying concrete behavior experiments to shift mood and problem-solving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to test methods and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that balances immediate symptom relief with longer-term changes in patterns of thinking and relating.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins during a lunch break or after work. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and between-session practice, which can be easier to integrate when sessions happen remotely. Ask about language preference and practical scheduling when you set up the first appointment.
