About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Pacheco is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Arizona.
Her work emphasizes a respectful, client-centered stance. Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical steps to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Background and approach
Elizabeth also brings experience supporting those dealing with grief, trauma, intimacy issues, and challenges related to identity and discrimination. She helps people who are navigating non-traditional relationship structures, immigration concerns, and the stresses that come with first responder work. Conversations are grounded in multicultural awareness and the realities people face.
When addiction or motivation is a central concern, motivational interviewing and solution-focused work guide shorter-term goals and next steps. Those approaches are used alongside longer-term therapeutic work when needed. Her goal is to help clients leave each session with a clearer plan and a sense of forward movement.
Elizabeth aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through what matters most. She partners with clients to set goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their priorities. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what they want to work on. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors that fuel distress, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often helping people manage intense feelings and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work fits the person's life and moves toward clear, achievable steps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support brief check-ins or focused homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work even when in-person visits are difficult.
