About Flora

Flora Pazos is a licensed mental health counselor with extensive experience and a long career in clinical practice. She is an LMHC and a Licensed Professional Counselor, and she works in Florida. Flora speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and other life changes.

With 25 years of experience, Flora shapes sessions around each person’s needs. She focuses on practical goals and teaches strategies people can use between meetings. Sessions aim to build on strengths, improve coping, and bring clearer perspective to difficult decisions.

Her approach is adaptable and direct. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution-focused work to set short-term goals.

Flora emphasizes simple, usable tools for daily life. People learn ways to manage intense feelings, handle relationship tensions, and work through grief or trauma at a manageable pace. She also supports those coping with addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time according to therapist availability.

How these approaches work for online care

The client-centered approach focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and helps people notice what already works in their lives. This style helps when someone needs support clarifying values or making personal choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, anger, and depressed mood because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaboration. Flora will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, checking in to see what helps and changing course if needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel time or letting people join from different locations. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins or when video is not practical; others suit longer work on behavior and skills. Confirm the available session formats before booking to make sure they match scheduling needs and daily routines.
