About Maurice

Maurice Flournoy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps families and parents facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, relationship problems, and trauma. He works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families to untangle practical problems and improve everyday functioning.

He also supports people dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and issues like abandonment or finding life purpose. Maurice keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each family.

Background and approach

He draws on approaches like Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. He also uses mindfulness and existential ideas when people need space to reflect on meaning and values.

He earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in 2010 and has practiced for about 10 years in outpatient settings. He became a qualified licensure supervisor in 2018 and provides guidance to clinicians working toward their licenses. His background includes experience with trauma-focused CBT, play therapy, group work, and family-based approaches.

In sessions, Maurice aims to build on strengths and keep a trauma-aware view of problems. He prefers practical steps and gentle exploration so parents can try different strategies between appointments. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

Families can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style that balances problem solving with emotional support. Maurice offers a mix of shorter skill-focused sessions and deeper work depending on each family’s needs.

Approach and Online Options for Families and Parents

Client-Centered Therapy puts the parent's and family's priorities first. It focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions to parenting and relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve communication.

Maurice treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will work with each family to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as people try strategies and see what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to meet from home, coordinate around school and work, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. The mix of steady therapy and flexible touchpoints helps parents practice new skills between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
