Elizabeth Pacheco, LPC

Elizabeth Pacheco uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and relationships. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. Elizabeth speaks English and Spanish and emphasizes straightforward, respectful care.

She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She also helps people dealing with intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem challenges, and big life changes. Her work includes attention to LGBT concerns and the needs of people in non-monogamous relationships.

Elizabeth has long experience supporting first responders and people facing hospice or end-of-life concerns. She also offers help with immigration-related stress and multicultural challenges. Her approach aims to meet each person where they are and honor their background.

In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside client-centered listening and skills from dialectical behavior work. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps. This combination helps people build new habits and cope with difficult moments.

People who choose her can expect a calm, collaborative atmosphere. She works together with each person to set goals and practice skills between sessions. Appointments are offered using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make ongoing work easier to fit into life.

Practical approaches adapted for online care

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits people want to change. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful, collaborative relationship to support personal growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used for emotion regulation and building coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques so they fit the client's life and priorities. That collaboration helps tailor the plan and adjust as things change.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and do longer sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging helps maintain momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to practice skills, check in after stressful moments, and keep therapy consistent alongside daily responsibilities.
