About Shalom
Shalom Palacio-Hollmon is a licensed psychologist in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She offers direct, down-to-earth support for those facing major life changes. Her tone in sessions is steady and encouraging, aimed at making the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
She brings 20 years of professional experience to her work. That background includes helping clients cope with panic, mood disorders, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as parenting stress, intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to identity and LGBT matters. Shalom emphasizes that each person knows their own story and strengths. In sessions she helps people identify practical steps that fit their lives.
She focuses on clear goals and small changes that can make daily life feel more doable. Her training and licensure are indicated by OK Psychologist 1106, showing a long-term commitment to practicing in Oklahoma. Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients when appropriate.
The approach in therapy is collaborative and paced to the client. Shalom uses evidence-based methods to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. She encourages clients to bring real-life problems to sessions and to try concrete strategies between meetings.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Shalom uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and practical changes. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more workable ways of thinking; this is often useful for anxiety, panic, and depression. Trauma-informed methods focus on safety and pacing so memories and reactions can be addressed without overwhelming the person; these techniques support recovery from abuse and post-traumatic stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then suggest techniques that fit. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, keep continuity during life changes, and use shorter check-ins when that suits the client. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work in virtual formats, so practical coping strategies carry over into real life.
