Flora Pazos , LMHC, LPC

Flora Pazos is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida. She brings 25 years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Flora focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life changes.

Flora takes a practical, goal-minded approach in sessions. She helps people set clear goals and teaches strategies they can use between meetings. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps so progress feels real and manageable.

Her work often addresses trauma, grief, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Flora pays attention to the whole picture, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and the strain of chronic illness or caregiving.

Flora uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and brief solution-focused strategies. Mindfulness and existential ideas also appear when clients want to explore meaning and values.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she works with international clients as well. Her style aims to be respectful, down-to-earth, and oriented toward helping people regain a sense of control and purpose.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. In online sessions this means the therapist mirrors concerns, helps clarify what matters most, and supports the client’s own goals. It works well for people wanting respectful, nonjudgmental support for stress, life transitions, or relationship questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Online CBT often uses brief exercises, thought records, and homework that can be done between video or chat sessions to reduce anxiety, manage depression, or address addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Flora will help assess what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and can adjust methods over time. That collaborative planning makes it easier to pick tools that feel useful and realistic.

Online sessions offer flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins possible and can fit into a busy day. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
