Flora Pazos, LMHC, LPC

Flora Pazos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, grief, and other life challenges. Flora aims to meet each person where they are and guide them toward clearer choices and calmer days.

She uses a goal-focused, individualized style. Sessions include practical strategies and exercises clients can use between meetings. Flora emphasizes strengthening inner resources and building skills to manage emotions and daily demands.

Her background includes long experience with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues tied to life transitions like divorce, adoption and foster care matters, aging, and serious illness.

Flora draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the work to the person. She combines client-centered conversation with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. Mindfulness and existential ideas may also appear when helpful.

People who find short-term problem solving and practical skill building useful often fit well with her approach. She works collaboratively to set goals and offers tools to help people make steady progress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and offers empathy to help people clarify goals and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Flora will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation helps decide whether more skills-based CBT, client-centered listening, or a mix of methods will be the best path forward.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and have regular check-ins from different locations. It also allows for shorter or more focused sessions when needed, and for lessons and exercises to be shared and reviewed between meetings.
