About

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Pacheco is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Arizona.

Elizabeth uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening. Sessions begin by asking what matters most and building goals that fit real life. She blends hands-on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with motivational strategies to help people make changes they want to keep.

Background and approach

Her practice pays attention to cultural background and how prejudice or immigration stress can affect daily life. She also brings focused experience related to first responder issues and hospice or end-of-life concerns. Those areas shape how she looks at coping, grief, and transitions.

Therapy sessions are practical and collaborative. Elizabeth helps people identify patterns, try different ways of responding, and track what works. She also supports people navigating non-traditional relationship structures and intimacy-related concerns while respecting each person’s values.

People who come for help can expect clear explanations, step-by-step strategies, and space to reflect. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and build manageable skills for everyday life. Over time clients work toward steadier moods, improved relationships, and clearer next steps.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and shaping goals around what matters to each person. In online sessions this means time is spent understanding priorities, checking in on progress, and adjusting plans so they fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and then tests small changes. Online CBT often uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework that can be reviewed together during a video call or via text messaging. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. Those skills can be practiced between sessions and reinforced through short messages or live chat.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and shift course if something is not helping. That collaboration helps ensure the approach fits the client’s needs, values, and everyday schedule.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other life responsibilities.
