Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Elizabeth Palacios integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-acceptance - it is often helpful for improving self esteem and building confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it can be useful for coping with life changes, managing motivation, and addressing patterns that contribute to emotional distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Palacios works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. She considers the client’s goals, preferences, and life context and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter-format options for checking in or processing between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care across distances.
