About Liliana
Liliana Palacios, LPC, offers calm, steady support for people stuck in painful relationship patterns or facing major life changes. She welcomes clients who feel overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety, or problems with trust and intimacy. Sessions are a place to slow down, sort out what matters, and take small steps forward toward clearer connection and more manageable days.
Palacios brings 19 years of clinical experience and a background in organizational psychology and counseling. She learned early on through volunteer work with crisis services and community mental health programs. Those experiences shaped a practical, grounded approach that centers listening and respect.
In sessions she combines techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy with a client-centered attitude. That means helping people notice their patterns, learn skills to change unhelpful behaviors, and clarify personal values that guide decisions. Work may include skill practice, values clarification, and talking through difficult moments.
She has long experience supporting survivors of trauma, people dealing with depression or anxiety, and those facing caregiving or parenting challenges. She also supports adults navigating intimacy and commitment concerns and people managing ADHD-related struggles.
Palacios is bilingual in English and Spanish and practices in Texas. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person's needs, with attention to the realities of day-to-day life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and real-life practice to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for stress, mood, and anxiety problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help with intense emotions, relationship conflict, and impulsive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which tools and exercises to use over time.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people work on skills and practice communication in real-life contexts that then get discussed in sessions.
