About Liliana
Liliana Palacios is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas who brings 19 years of experience to sessions. She speaks English and Spanish and creates a calm space where people can slow down and make sense of hard moments. She meets people dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and changes that feel overwhelming.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people notice the patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Liliana uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build small, meaningful actions. Liliana has worked with survivors of trauma and people navigating major life transitions.
She has experience supporting parents of children on the autism spectrum and caregivers facing aging and illness in loved ones. These experiences shaped a careful, trauma-aware way of working. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth.
Liliana balances warmth with direct guidance, offering skills, reflection, and empathic listening. She wants people to leave sessions with something usable for the week ahead. Originally from Mexico City, she trained in counseling while raising her children and volunteering with crisis services.
That background informs her emphasis on respect, cultural sensitivity, and practical support for everyday life challenges. People often come for help with communication problems, addiction or impulse struggles, self-esteem, parenting stress, ADHD, and intimacy concerns. Liliana aims to help clients build clearer direction, stronger coping, and steadier connection in relationships.
Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are strong. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where taking meaningful action feels hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed depression, anxiety, and relationship conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person’s goals guide each session and the therapist offers support and reflection to help people find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Liliana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions meet immediate practical needs while building longer-term resilience.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to consistent care. Video calls let people use exercises, share materials, and read nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
