Vivian Pazos , LMFT

Vivian Pazos is a Florida-based licensed therapist with two decades of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and family conflicts. As an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, she blends practical tools with compassionate guidance to help clients identify triggers, develop coping mechanisms, and practice grounding and breathing exercises that reduce tension and build resilience.

She works with individuals and families facing crises, guiding them toward peaceful conflict resolution and clearer communication. Vivian emphasizes assertive communication skills to help clients express needs, set boundaries, and repair or strengthen relationships. When motivation, self-esteem, or confidence are obstacles, she partners with clients to create realistic goals and strategies that encourage growth and self-love.

Vivian creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques and tailored to each person’s situation, whether the focus is on mood disorders, panic attacks, trauma responses, or life transitions. She is fluent in English and Spanish and serves clients in Florida, drawing on 20 years of experience to support meaningful change and forward movement.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Support and Communication

Vivian integrates practical grounding and breathing techniques into online sessions to help clients manage acute anxiety and reduce physiological arousal. These simple practices teach people to reconnect with their bodies in moments of stress and can be used immediately during panic or overwhelm.

She also focuses on trigger identification and coping skills, helping clients learn how thoughts, emotions, and situations interact and develop step-by-step strategies to respond differently. This approach supports work on mood concerns, panic, and trauma-related reactions by building predictable tools clients can use between sessions.

Communication skills training is another common focus, emphasizing assertive expression, boundary-setting, and peaceful conflict resolution to improve family and relationship dynamics.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Vivian works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Vivian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and practice skills in daily life without the need to travel.
