About William
William Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience in behavioral health. He focuses on practical steps that help people cope with addictions, depression, stress, anxiety, and parenting concerns. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions aligned with their values.
Background and approach
He also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods to keep work grounded and goal-oriented. That mix supports short-term problem solving and deeper change over time. William has worked with clients facing compassion fatigue, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with sleep and anger.
He also helps people struggling with codependency, communication problems, and life transitions. His approach aims to reduce overwhelm while building practical skills for daily life. In sessions he listens first, then helps identify small experiments a person can try between meetings.
He uses motivational interviewing techniques when people feel stuck about change. Those brief, actionable steps are often what help someone gain momentum. William practices in Florida and offers services in English.
He has 21 years of experience as an LCSW and accepts international clients through online formats. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
William uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose small actions that reflect what matters most. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and for people facing life changes.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides step-by-step strategies for problems like sleep difficulties, anger, and low mood. Client-Centered methods guide the relationship, keeping sessions focused on the person’s perspective and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. William talks with each person about goals and preferences, and he adjusts methods collaboratively as progress unfolds. That way therapy stays practical and tailored to real-life demands.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different preferences. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues; phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
