About Shalom
Shalom Palacio-Hollmon is an Oklahoma psychologist with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and the everyday strain of life changes. She also supports those working through anger, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to LGBT identity. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Her way of working is practical and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens to what matters most, helps clarify what is getting in the way, and suggests straightforward steps to try between meetings.
Shalom draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotions and behavior. That can include methods to lower anxiety, process traumatic experiences, and manage mood swings related to bipolar disorder or ADHD. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try new coping strategies, and reduce the moments when anger or frustration take over.
Her background includes two decades of clinical work in Oklahoma. Over that time she has worked with a wide range of concerns such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, relationship problems, and grief after separation or divorce. This experience shapes a practical focus in sessions.
When someone reaches out, the first sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. Later work reviews what is helping and adjusts the plan. The approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills people can use in everyday life.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Shalom works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and on processing difficult experiences. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new responses; these help with anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Trauma-focused methods involve carefully revisiting and making sense of past events so those memories stop driving present reactions; this can reduce reactivity and hypervigilance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, try an approach, and adapt it based on what helps and what doesn’t. Goals and techniques are adjusted together rather than set in stone at the start.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and remove travel time so sessions are more practical during workdays. Licensed professionals can coach skills, review homework, and use structured exercises effectively in remote meetings, which lets people practice new ways of handling anger where it actually shows up.
