Flora Pazos, LMHC, LPC

Flora Pazos is a Florida LMHC and a New Jersey LPC with 25 years of experience in mental health care. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also notes work related to blended family issues among other focus areas.

Flora approaches conversations in a practical, goal-oriented way. She listens for what feels most urgent and then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions include learning techniques to cope with stress and to practice new ways of relating to others.

She often uses Client-Centered strategies to follow the client’s lead and build on personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas appear in sessions as simple skills and short exercises to use between meetings.

Flora speaks English and Spanish and describes her work as adapted to each person’s situation and goals. She encourages straightforward discussion about practical obstacles, such as role changes in blended households, co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts, or shifting routines after remarriage.

People who choose her can expect clear, short-term goals and written or verbal strategies to try between sessions. She asks clients to track what works and what does not, so the plan can be adjusted over time.
