About Shalom
Shalom Palacio-Hollmon is an Oklahoma psychologist (OK Psychologist 1106) with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and the practical effects of life changes. She also addresses concerns related to intimacy, parenting, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and issues connected to identity and relationships.
In sessions she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She encourages clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of tasks.
Her background includes long experience helping people cope after major transitions. That work covers separation and divorce, family-of-origin concerns, immigration-related stress, and the strains of caregiving. She has also supported people with chronic illness, chronic pain, and mood-related conditions such as panic attacks and postpartum depression.
When trauma and abuse are part of the picture, she attends to safety and pacing while helping clients reduce distress tied to past events. For people questioning life purpose or feeling directionless after change, she helps clarify values and practical priorities without promising quick answers.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about goals, symptoms, and small experiments to test new behaviors. The first sessions typically focus on understanding recent problems, past patterns that matter now, and realistic next steps. Shalom meets people where they are and works with them on pragmatic, step-by-step changes.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Shalom uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then rehearses small, manageable alternatives to those patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on processing and reducing the hold of traumatic memories through paced, carefully structured sessions that prioritize stability and gradual symptom relief. Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She discusses goals, past attempts, and personal preferences with clients and adjusts techniques as needed so the approach fits the problem and the person. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus more on problem-solving, mood regulation, or trauma processing at different stages. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a faster check-in when a brief session will do. It can also let people try video or phone options if that better meets their daily needs. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these options to help clients maintain continuity of care alongside other responsibilities.Areas of expertise
