About Liliana

Liliana Palacios is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on parents and people navigating family life. She offers straightforward, compassionate care for those feeling stuck in relationships, overwhelmed by parenting demands, or coping with big life changes. Sessions are practical and conversational, with room to name problems, try new ways of relating, and build small skills that make daily life easier.

She uses clear methods to address anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and the aftermath of trauma.

Background and approach

Liliana helps with intimacy and communication issues, parenting questions, and struggles like addiction, anger, or low self-esteem. She also supports career concerns, ADHD, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic illness. Her background began with studies in organizational psychology before moving to the United States and completing a master’s degree in professional counseling.

Over nearly 19 years she has worked in crisis services and community mental health settings, developing experience with trauma, domestic violence, and life transitions. She has also helped parents of children on the autism spectrum and caregivers for aging or ill relatives. Liliana practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential, TX LPC 64050.

She provides care in English and Spanish. Her manner is warm, honest, and collaborative; she listens closely, offers feedback, and supports steps toward clearer communication and stronger relationships. Her approach blends practical skills and reflection.

Together with clients she identifies patterns that keep families stuck and works on concrete changes at home. Therapy aims to restore connection, respect, and calmer days for parents and partners.

Therapeutic methods and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them even when emotions are difficult. It helps people tolerate uncomfortable feelings while building a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles where changing habits helps relieve distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process - approaches may be tried, adjusted, or combined based on what helps most in real life.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more reachable. These options provide flexibility for busy parents and people with limited time or mobility. They allow therapy to continue between appointments through messages or brief check-ins, and make it easier to practice skills where life happens.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
