About Shalom
Shalom Palacio-Hollmon is an Oklahoma-licensed psychologist with two decades of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. She also supports people facing changes like separation, parenting strain, or health-related challenges.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that can reduce distress day to day. In therapy she listens first and then helps people try new ways of responding. That might include learning techniques to calm intense feelings, building routines to manage mood, or practicing new communication habits.
The goal is clearer thinking and more control over difficult reactions. Shalom draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques across a wide range of concerns. She has particular experience with trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, attention challenges, and issues connected to identity and relationships.
Her work also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, immigration-related concerns, and challenges tied to military service. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. International clients who speak English can also connect.
To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, fills a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a session according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Shalom uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach teaches practical emotion-regulation skills to reduce anger, panic, and overwhelming stress; it shows how to notice triggers and try specific coping steps. Another approach helps process traumatic experiences and their effects, with careful pacing so people feel more able to manage memories and reactions.Choosing the right method is a shared decision. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend approaches to try. That plan can change as therapy progresses so the fit improves over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, send quick updates, or have shorter check-ins during a busy week. This mix of formats supports flexibility while keeping the focus on real-world changes.
