Flora helps people learn tools to manage difficult moments and to make decisions that feel right for them. Flora uses a mix of conversational and structured work in sessions.

Mindfulness and client-centered ideas are woven in to help people stay grounded and feel heard. Her background includes long-term clinical practice and a focus on a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship strain, anger, and self-esteem. She also works with issues like ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Flora brings an emphasis on respect, dignity, and promoting self-determination. People who prefer a collaborative, straight-forward style often find this approach useful. Sessions can include talking through choices, practicing new skills, and setting small, achievable steps.
She accepts international clients and provides services in both English and Spanish.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. The therapist offers empathy and works to understand priorities so the client feels heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build better coping skills. Solution-focused therapy centers on small, achievable steps and immediate goals to create progress quickly and keep momentum moving forward.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide what to try first and adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client's needs and life circumstances.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when a client prefers written communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
