Flora Pazos, LMHC, LPC

Flora Pazos is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 25 years of experience to her work and speaks both English and Spanish. Flora aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes. Flora also works with issues including trauma, grief, addiction concerns, anger, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Midlife crisis is one of the areas listed among her focuses.

Flora uses a practical, goal-oriented style. She teaches strategies and techniques clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and make decisions. Sessions emphasize the person’s own goals and strengths rather than pushing a single method.

Her approach draws from client-centered ideas that prioritize the person’s perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused methods to set clear, short-term goals. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also inform conversations about meaning, values, and daily coping.

Flora adapts what she does to each individual. She aims to offer clear tools, steady support, and simple steps people can use right away. For people looking to sort through big transitions or everyday strain, she helps create a plan and practices that fit real life.

How Flora’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and priorities, with the therapist reflecting what matters most and helping shape goals. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a clear sense of direction in midlife or other transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and for building coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Flora also draws on solution-focused and mindfulness ideas to set small, achievable goals and build present-moment awareness. These methods help people take practical steps and manage stress day to day.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to prioritize.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the contexts where their problems occur, then bring those experiences back to session for review and adjustment.
