Florcita Hancock-Rios is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, and relationship or family problems. She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.
Florcita uses a direct, practical style in sessions. She focuses on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce distress. Conversations centre on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and testing new ways of responding. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas with a client-centered way of listening and mindfulness practices.
In practical terms she helps people break down big problems into manageable steps. For parenting issues she works through specific strategies and communication approaches. For anxiety and anger she encourages noticing triggers and practicing alternative responses. For mood concerns she supports building routines that improve daily functioning.
She is used to working with people facing complex backgrounds such as adoption, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, immigration challenges, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses common interpersonal problems like communication difficulties and control issues. Sessions emphasize concrete skills as well as steady pacing so clients can try changes between meetings.
Florcita offers care in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Florcita draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and habits; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and responds, giving people space to describe what matters most while she follows their lead. Mindfulness Therapy adds short attention practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences in early meetings and adjust methods based on what works for each person. Sessions typically mix skill practice, real-life homework, and reflective conversation so progress can be tested between meetings.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, require less travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments. The therapist will help plan session length and pacing to match daily schedules and treatment goals.
