About Mario
LMFT in California with 25 years of experience, Mario Palacios helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and LGBT concerns, trauma and addiction. He speaks English and Spanish. Mario focuses on practical steps people can use to reduce symptoms and regain control of daily life.
Mario works with people who want clear, realistic goals. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop different responses. Sessions focus on small, doable changes that add up over time rather than abstract theories.
In session he talks with clients about what is happening now and what they want to change. He encourages clients to try new ways of thinking and acting between meetings. Homework and short exercises are common to reinforce progress.
Mario also addresses long-standing problems such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, and grief. He helps with practical relationship issues like communication problems, divorce and separation, and the stress that comes with caregiving and aging concerns. He brings attention to how mood, panic, obsessions, and compulsions affect daily routines.
People who prefer working in English or Spanish can do so. Mario asks about the client’s goals at the first meeting and builds a plan together. To begin, users follow the site’s online steps to match and schedule an initial session.

Cognitive behavioral approaches and remote sessions
Mario uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in straightforward ways: identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and setting small practice tasks between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is often used for worry, panic, low mood, and compulsive patterns because it focuses on what people do and think day to day.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences with each person and together decide which strategies to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it possible to meet from different locations. These practical benefits help people keep consistency and apply what they practice in everyday life.
