About Shalom
Shalom Palacio-Hollmon is a licensed Oklahoma psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or depression. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting strains, or panic attacks. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable.
She starts by listening and learning each person's story. She frames the client as the expert on their own life and looks for practical strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can change daily patterns and reduce intense symptoms like panic.
Her background includes two decades of work in clinical settings across Oklahoma. That experience shapes a calm, pragmatic style that balances empathy with real-world tools. She pays attention to how stress, mood, and relationships interact, and she helps people sort through those connections.
Shalom works with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, such as bipolar mood shifts, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship issues like intimacy or family conflict. She also has experience supporting people dealing with trauma, postpartum mood changes, and immigration-related stress.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when you book. If you are ready to start, the typical first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
Approaches that calm panic and reduce anxiety
Shalom uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and steady progress. One approachable method helps people learn to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and panic; it teaches coping skills to interrupt those cycles and practice calmer responses in stressful moments. Another common technique emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations or sensations, helping people build tolerance to panic symptoms through small, supported steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shalom treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and comfort level. She listens to your story, tests what works, and adjusts the plan as you progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose times that match work or caregiving schedules. If you prefer in-person meetings or need a particular format, verify those details during the scheduling step so you can find the best match.
