About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Pacheco is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 21 years of experience based in Arizona. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and relationship concerns. She also works with clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, parenting strain, and life transitions.
She uses clear, practical methods to address day-to-day problems and longer-term patterns. Elizabeth draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and impulses.
Her background includes work with first responders and immigrant communities, and she has experience with hospice and end-of-life counseling. She names multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and non-monogamous relationship structures among areas she addresses. Being bilingual in English and Spanish informs how she talks through culturally specific stressors.
Sessions focus on concrete steps - building skills, clarifying values, and practicing small changes between meetings. Elizabeth uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and keep momentum. The work is collaborative and oriented toward usable strategies for everyday life.
People seeking help for anger, work stress, or relationship tension will find an approach that combines emotional skills training with problem solving. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Elizabeth's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and helps shape sessions around what matters most. This approach supports people who need a listening space to sort out feelings and figure next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT techniques can help when anger flares or emotional reactions feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That can mean focusing on skill-building one week and problem-solving the next, according to what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter spot without traveling. Licensed professionals often adapt homework, skill practice, and goal tracking to an online setting so the work stays practical and usable in daily life.
