About Thao
Thao Florendo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD. She writes in plain, direct terms and focuses on helping each person find practical ways forward. Her background as an educator shapes how she explains things and guides progress.
She has three years of counseling experience working with a wide age range from children to adults. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person's needs and life stage.
Background and approach
Thao pays attention to multicultural factors and how those affect daily life and relationships. Sessions aim to be supportive and affirming. She helps clients talk through communication problems, process grief, and manage stress with concrete steps.
People also come for help after trauma, for depression, or when ADHD symptoms make everyday tasks harder. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and on skills she developed as an educator. The focus is on building coping strategies, improving communication, and finding strengths that clients can use outside of sessions.
Thao believes therapy is a collaborative process. She works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. This practical, culturally aware approach helps people move toward better day-to-day functioning and clearer life direction.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Thao uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping and stress-management strategies they can use day to day; this is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Another strand emphasizes processing trauma and grief through guided conversations and pacing, helping clients make sense of hard experiences and reduce their impact on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, live chat can be a quick way to check in, and text-based messaging supports shorter reflections or frequent touchpoints. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
