About Thao
Thao Florendo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She draws on her background as an educator to explain things clearly and to work with clients at different life stages. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using multiple formats to fit busy schedules.
Thao centers her work on simple, practical steps. She helps people name what feels overwhelming, sort through emotions, and try small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
For trauma and grief, she guides clients through paced processing and coping strategies. For attention and mood challenges she helps people build routines and communication tools that reduce friction. Her style is calm and straightforward.
She emphasizes cultural awareness and respects each person’s background and identity. That perspective shapes how she talks about relationship strain, prejudice and discrimination, and life purpose concerns. Thao brings three years of counseling experience to her practice in Texas as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
She has worked with people who have faced sexual assault, domestic violence, intellectual disability, and other complex situations, and adapts her approach to fit each person’s needs. Clients can expect clear goals, measurable steps, and ongoing review of progress. Thao supports self-understanding, improved communication, and practical skills for daily challenges like stress management, ADHD-related routines, and navigating midlife shifts.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Thao uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage symptoms and rebuild routines. One common approach focuses on paced processing for trauma and grief, helping people slowly make sense of painful memories and learn coping strategies. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for mood and attention concerns, teaching practical routines, communication tools, and problem-solving steps to reduce daily stressors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Thao will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their situation, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She explains options plainly and invites feedback so treatment matches needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are suited for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people use brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or check in when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or caretaking routines while keeping focus on practical progress.
