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 concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and parenting challenges. She also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her style centers on listening first and adapting conversations to what the person brings. She uses straightforward talk to help people name what feels hard. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not on jargon. Florcita draws on client-centered ideas to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities.

Florcita has worked with people facing adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems. She supports people dealing with immigration issues, isolation, guilt and shame, and forgiveness work. Her background includes addressing co-morbidity and complex situations where several issues overlap.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Florcita uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with where the person is and build from their immediate concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT tends to be practical and goal-oriented, which can work well for anxiety, mood challenges, and coping with life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, for example during stress or anger spikes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Florcita will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as progress is made or new issues arise.
