About Flora

Flora Pazos is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She practices in Florida and speaks both English and Spanish. Flora focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, addiction concerns, and major life changes.

Flora shapes sessions around each person’s needs using clear, goal-focused work. She teaches strategies and techniques you can use between meetings to manage emotions and make decisions. Sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths and increase coping skills in everyday life.

Her background blends several approaches so she can tailor the work to the client. Flora uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help clients find small, practical changes that add up. Existential work is part of her toolbox when people need to examine values, meaning, or big life questions. This mix supports people dealing with trauma, parenting stress, burnout, and relationship issues.

Flora emphasizes respect, dignity, and self-determination in every interaction. Prospective clients can expect direct, compassionate guidance and skills they can try between sessions. She works with people who want concrete tools to manage change and move toward clearer goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities and feelings, helping the therapist follow what matters most in each conversation. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through big emotions or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and managing stress by using simple exercises and step-by-step plans.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Flora will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision happens over the first few sessions and can shift as needs change.

The original profile does not specify which session formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so people can try tools between meetings and track progress over time.
