About Shalom
Shalom Palacio-Hollmon is an Oklahoma psychologist with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood problems and other life stressors. Her practice covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.
She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and focus on what someone can do differently between meetings. Shalom aims to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices about work, relationships, and daily functioning.
In practice she helps people who are navigating identity, intimacy, and family concerns alongside mood and anxiety difficulties. She also supports those facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, immigration-related pressures, and the fallout from separation or divorce. She lists ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress among the things she has experience with.
Shalom offers straightforward talk therapy that centers on problem solving and skill development. She encourages small, practical steps that fit into a busy life. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client decide which strategies to try and refine them over time.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after a big life change, when panic or low mood interferes with work or school, or when relationship and family issues become overwhelming. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Shalom uses straightforward evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and symptom management. One common method she uses involves learning concrete coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms; this helps people gain control over sudden worry and regain day-to-day functioning. Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult experiences at a pace the client can tolerate, with attention to safety and gradual exposure when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed protocol.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins or when video bandwidth is limited, while others allow longer, more in-depth conversations. Discuss practical scheduling and format choices when you first connect so sessions fit into everyday life.
