Getting to know Linda Palacios

Hi there, I'm Linda! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience supporting children, parents, single mothers, and families across developmental, medical, behavioral, and justice-involved systems. My work is grounded in child development, early intervention, and family-centered care, with a strong focus on helping others. My focus I support hospitalized children, new parents, caregivers, single mothers, first responders, and families navigating stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. As a first-generation American, I provide culturally responsive care and help loved ones of formerly incarcerated individuals manage reintegration, and emotional well-being. My approach My approach is compassionate, structured, and collaborative. I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, while always considering developmental stages, family systems, and cultural context. Bilingual services available in English and Spanish. My communication style Clients often appreciate my ability to combine empathy with practical guidance. I help individuals strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and build confidence in managing life's challenges. My experience in mental health, medical, family, and correctional settings supports meaningful growth and lasting change. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into social work began through foster care experiences in my family. I have supported children with developmental, medical, and mental health challenges in pediatric, PICU, and oncology settings. I now use that experience to help adults create meaningful change and emotional well-being. My goals for you I partner with clients to identify meaningful goals, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies for change. Together, we track progress, strengthen coping skills, and work toward lasting improvements in emotional well-being.
