About William

William Flores is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people make changes in their lives. He draws on 21 years of experience and focuses on issues like addictions, depression, parenting, stress, anxiety, grief, relationships, and intimacy-related concerns. William creates a direct but warm space where people can talk honestly about thoughts and feelings.

He emphasizes small, doable steps and clear goals so progress feels real and steady.

Background and approach

In sessions he mixes approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help identify unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports taking values-driven actions even when feelings are painful.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or facing addiction challenges. He also works with related issues such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. Additional areas he can address include attachment concerns, codependency, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and men's issues.

William keeps language plain and focuses on solutions that fit daily life. William is licensed in Florida as an LCSW, FL LCSW SW11020. Sessions are offered in English.

He accepts international clients and offers flexible online options for people with busy schedules.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

William commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match their values, which can be useful for parenting stress, grief, and chronic struggles. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the situation. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made so treatment stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy with William is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give options for different needs. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around parenting, work, or long distances. The variety of formats also allows short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or longer therapy visits depending on what the client prefers and needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
