Flora Pazos, LMHC, LPC

Flora Pazos is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 25 years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Flora focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the strain that comes with major life changes.

She offers a calm, goal-focused style that adapts to each person's needs. Sessions emphasize practical strategies and techniques to build inner strengths and improve day-to-day coping. Flora encourages self-determination and works with people who want clearer direction or relief from persistent emotional pain.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. Those methods are used to identify patterns, test small changes, and reinforce what works. Mindfulness and existential ideas are also woven in when they fit the client’s goals.

Flora has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, intimacy-related questions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing cancer, aging challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and complex life transitions.

Sessions are straightforward and practical. Clients learn techniques they can use between meetings and leave with concrete next steps. The emphasis is on gradual progress and using personal strengths to manage difficult moments and decisions.

How Flora's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps name concerns, and supports personal goals. This approach can be helpful for people seeking validation and clearer direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. It offers step-by-step exercises for anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. Clients often get practical homework to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Flora will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is made, so the plan evolves with the client.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, save commute time, and let people fit brief check-ins into a busy day. It can also allow for different rhythms of work - shorter check-ins or longer deep sessions - depending on what helps the client most.
