About Florcita
Florcita Hancock-Rios is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, career questions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Clients meet a therapist who keeps conversation straightforward and focused on practical steps. She uses conversational sessions to identify patterns that feed anger and frustration. Then she helps people try small changes that reduce tension and improve communication with others.
Florcita blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. That means she listens closely, helps people test unhelpful thoughts, and teaches simple awareness practices to interrupt reactivity. Sessions often include practice tasks between meetings so new habits can form.
She pays attention to family background, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. Communication problems, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame are also common topics brought to sessions. Florcita aims to make the steps forward manageable rather than overwhelming.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks progress along the way. The work suits someone who wants practical tools for handling anger, improving relationships, or managing stress in day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Florcita uses client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness in her work. Client-centered work means she follows the client’s concerns and adjusts conversation to what matters most in the moment. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and test thoughts that lead to anger or anxiety, and then replaces them with more helpful responses. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention exercises to notice physical tension and interrupt automatic reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That collaboration involves checking what feels useful, trying techniques in-session, and adjusting plans based on results.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can still offer practical benefits like fitting sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access when travel is difficult. These practicalities help people try new coping skills and build steadier habits without rearranging their whole schedule.
