About Florcita

Florcita Hancock-Rios is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people who are trying to get through hard times and build better routines. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, and she aims to make conversations easy to follow.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression using clear steps and realistic goals. Parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and family problems are frequent topics she addresses.

Background and approach

She also offers support for trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career or life-change challenges. Her approach draws on Client-Centered work to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break down patterns and try new ways of thinking.

Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help people calm racing thoughts and increase focus in daily life. Florcita adapts sessions to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for practical steps you can try between meetings and checks in on progress.

People looking for steady, respectful guidance through transitions and intense feelings may find her style helpful. Her practice includes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, immigration-related challenges, and isolation or loneliness. Conversations are tailored to each person’s priorities and paced to match their needs.

Online support

Approaches and online options for everyday challenges

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you decide the next steps that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way you and the therapist can decide together whether to emphasize CBT skills, client-centered conversation, mindfulness, or a mix of methods.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video makes it easier to read expressions and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quick check-in. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter updates or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, parenting, or other commitments.
