Flora Pazos, LMHC, LPC

Flora Pazos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, life changes, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Her work also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues.

She meets people where they are and builds clear, practical goals together. Sessions emphasize simple strategies and tools that can be used between appointments. Flora keeps the pace based on each person's needs and helps them practice skills that fit into daily life.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured techniques to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help clients notice what’s working and build on it. When existential questions come up, she helps people weigh values and choices and find meaning in hard moments.

Flora aims to make therapy understandable and useful. She teaches coping techniques plainly and helps clients find steps that feel doable. Many people come for help with emotional overwhelm, major life transitions, or persistent low mood and leave with concrete ways to cope.

She encourages a collaborative relationship where the client’s goals lead the work. To begin, people typically complete a short intake and then set goals together for follow-up sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients set their own goals; online work keeps the client’s priorities front and center while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change patterns; online sessions can include written homework, thought records, and in-session skill rehearsal. Mindfulness therapy builds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, and these techniques are easy to teach and practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session logistics can be important for fitting therapy into everyday life. This profile does not list specific formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also support written exercises and screen-sharing tools for worksheets, which helps keep practical skills handy between appointments.
