About Flora

Flora Pazos brings 25 years of mental health practice to her work in Florida, combining decades of hands-on experience with a warm, person-focused approach.

Background and approach

She tailors care to each client's circumstances, emphasizing clear goals and practical strategies that help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, addiction challenges, and other life transitions. Flora is licensed as an LMHC in Florida (MH10734) and an LPC in New Jersey (37PC00530800).

Flora works in both English and Spanish and aims to strengthen clients' inner resources through teaching coping techniques, communication tools, and step-by-step methods to manage difficult emotions. Her approach is adaptable and collaborative, valuing dignity, understanding, and the client's capacity for self-determination.

She supports exploration of intimacy issues, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a broad set of focused areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, cancer-related adjustment, and coping with loss or disaster.

Clients can expect structured, goal-oriented sessions that focus on skill-building and practical solutions alongside reflective conversation that honors each person's values and life goals.

Using Practical Therapies Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then practicing concrete strategies to change those patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own capacity to find direction, which can be useful for improving self esteem, relationship concerns, and personal growth.

Choosing an approach is part of the therapeutic work and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, combining methods when needed so that interventions match the client's needs and pace rather than relying on a single technique.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, continue care during transitions or travel, and maintain momentum between meetings through messaging options that support ongoing practice and check-ins.
