Getting to know Mario Palacios

Hi there, I'm Mario! My name is Mario Palacios, MA LMFT. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate University. Dealing with difficulties, stressors, and life’s challenges can be quite overwhelming. However, I believe it is something you do not have to face alone. If you are ready to invest in your healing, let’s talk about ways I can help you. Our therapeutic relationship is built on trust, empathy, and a solid foundation. From there, we work together to create realistic goals that support your growth and foster positive changes in your life. My approach My approach to therapy is based on cognitive-based techniques as well as behavioral counseling theories. I utilize various theories in my work, including cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered, existential, ACT, mindfulness-based therapy, motivational interviewing, and systemic therapy. My focus I have a 24-year history working with young adults, adults, and older adults who speak English and Spanish. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship and transitional issues, and self-esteem/confidence challenges. I have specialties in supporting individuals managing chronic and terminal illnesses, older adults, victims of crime, and those coping with grief. I work with people who are ready to improve their quality of life and are highly motivated to create realistic expectations that empower them. My communication style The first important step in starting a therapeutic bond is building a trusting relationship. I build trust by connecting with my clients and actively listening to their concerns and challenges. My communication style is calm, respectful, and accommodating, enabling clients to begin feeling safe. Since trust is a focal point in my approach, it is essential for clients to have a secure space to discuss their issues and for me to provide helpful feedback.
