About Flora

Flora Pazos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish. Flora works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family matters, parenting, anger, trauma and addiction.

Flora keeps sessions focused and goal-oriented. She uses practical strategies that help people cope with life changes and day-to-day pressure. Sessions emphasize learning skills to manage feelings, improve communication, and reduce reactive responses when anger or frustration rises.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and concrete tools to test between sessions. Flora also uses solution-focused and existential ideas to help people clarify values and next steps.

Flora has worked across many adult concerns over the years, including grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar issues, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, cancer, and coping after disasters.

She frames progress as practical changes people can try and refine. Flora helps people name patterns, practice new responses, and notice what works. The emphasis is on usable skills that reduce tension and help people make clearer choices about relationships and daily life.

How sessions work

How Flora brings therapy online with practical approaches

Client-centered therapy begins by listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those priorities. It helps with relationship issues, parenting concerns, and figuring out concrete next steps in life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, anger management, and low mood because it teaches clear strategies to change patterns that cause distress.

Mindfulness work trains brief attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of emotional shifts. It pairs well with CBT when someone wants skills to interrupt a rising temper or intense worry.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what the person finds helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions can be adapted to their needs and pace.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people juggling work or family commitments. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep steady progress while adjusting how sessions are arranged to match daily life.
