About Flora

Flora Pazos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience in clinical work in Florida. She speaks English and Spanish and addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.

She uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions that emphasize practical strategies. Clients learn ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Sessions include concrete skills practice and step-by-step planning to handle problems between meetings.

Pazos draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. That means she helps people clarify what matters, test small changes, and track results. Mindfulness and existential ideas may be woven in to help with meaning, stress tolerance, and attention to the present moment.

Her approach is action-oriented but respects each person's pace. She teaches coping skills, communication techniques, and problem-solving tools. Progress is measured by what the client wants to change and what actually improves in day-to-day life.

Flora works with adults on a wide range of issues including ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and complex stressors like abandonment, blended family issues, and medical-related challenges. She also supports people facing separation, domestic violence aftermath, dissociation, and other difficult transitions.

How Flora’s approaches translate to online work

Flora commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be practiced with homework and structured exercises between sessions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting to help a person clarify goals and make choices that fit their values.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term, measurable goals and track progress. These methods are collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which approach to use based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since this profile does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow people to use video or audio options that match their comfort level. The focus remains practical: learning skills, practicing between sessions, and checking results in everyday life.
