Florcita Hancock-Rios is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxious thoughts, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. She also offers support around parenting concerns, career stress, and life transitions.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She listens without judgment and shapes conversations around what matters most to each person. Sessions are aimed at making small, practical changes that add up over time rather than quick fixes.

Florcita uses approaches that encourage clear thinking and present-moment awareness. She draws from client-centered methods to make space for each person’s perspective. She also incorporates cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and focus.

People come to her for help managing anger, coping after loss, sorting family and relationship issues, navigating adoption or foster care questions, and dealing with immigration or relocation stress. She also supports those living with bipolar disorder, ADHD, or eating concerns by addressing day-to-day coping and routines.

Her work emphasizes collaboration. She and the client set goals together and review progress as they go. The process is practical, respectful, and paced to fit each person’s needs.

How these approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens and follows each person’s lead to understand what matters most. This approach supports people who need someone to validate their experience and help them find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. This can help with anxiety, anger, low mood, and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be useful for managing stress, improving focus, and handling difficult emotions without getting overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and new needs emerge.

In general, online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it helpful for keeping continuity of care during life changes and for balancing therapy with work or family responsibilities.
