About Flora
Flora Pazos is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She provides therapy in English and Spanish and focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. Her approach centers on meeting people where they are and helping them take concrete steps forward.
Flora keeps sessions goal-oriented and tailored to each person's needs. She teaches strategies to build on existing strengths and to manage symptoms like stress, anxiety, anger, and depression.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people make clearer choices in daily life. Her background includes long experience helping people cope with relationship strain, addiction, trauma and grief, as well as parenting and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with people facing life transitions, chronic health challenges, or complicated family situations such as adoption and blended family dynamics.
Flora uses a mix of therapy styles to match the situation. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person's priorities, solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness to reduce reactivity. These tools are chosen to fit each person's goals and preferences.
Sessions may include skill practice, thought work, and planning for small steps between meetings. The emphasis is on usable tools that people can apply at home, at work, or while coping with major life events. Flora aims to help people regain a sense of control and move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Flora often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods to address immediate problems and build better habits. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals, helping people feel heard and able to steer their own change. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive patterns and teach practical skills for handling hard moments.She also draws on solution-focused ideas when people want brief, goal-directed help. That approach narrows in on small, achievable steps and what changes would make a real difference soon. Flora treats selecting an approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video works well for deeper conversations and body language cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, follow-up, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel commitments.
