Flora Pazos, LMHC, LPC

Flora Pazos is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She works in Florida and speaks both English and Spanish. Flora aims to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.

She adapts her approach to match each person's situation. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can take between meetings. Flora teaches techniques to strengthen coping skills and to manage strong emotions like anger, grief, or compassion fatigue.

Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction-related issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and healing after loss or separation. She pays attention to how past experiences such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, or domestic violence can affect present choices.

Flora uses a mix of conversational and skills-based methods. She draws on client-centered ideas to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to set short-term goals.

People who choose her often want practical strategies and a straightforward plan. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual. Her bilingual ability supports Spanish-speaking clients alongside English speakers.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's needs and values. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings to each session, helping people clarify goals and make choices that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and coping between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the client's goals, preferences, and comfort level. That collaboration helps decide which methods to try and how to pace progress.

The practical upside of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography did not list formats. Once confirmed, online work can make it easier to schedule appointments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. It also lets therapists use worksheets, guided exercises, and step-by-step plans that clients can practice between sessions.
