About Sophia

Sophia Mas is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among a broad range of issues. Sophia speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

She helps people who are dealing with mood challenges like depression and bipolar, and with trauma, grief, and addiction issues. She also addresses intimacy and self-esteem concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and problems that come with life changes such as divorce or caregiving strain. Blended family issues are listed among her areas of focus, including merging household roles and communication challenges.

Sophia describes her style as practical and interactive. Sessions use solution-focused techniques and draw on a mix of conventional and alternative approaches. She listens actively and works with clients on thoughts and feelings to identify workable steps forward.

Her background includes work in acute emergency care, community mental health, and private practice settings. That variety informs how she adapts tools to different problems and life circumstances. The aim in sessions is to help people develop skills they can use day to day to manage stress, regulate emotion, and improve relationship patterns.

People who choose Sophia can expect straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what changes are realistic. She uses evidence-informed methods to address communication issues, coping strategies, and behavior change rather than relying on jargon or lengthy theory discussions.

Therapeutic approaches used during online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that come up during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and coping skills for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the problems you bring. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people choose a quieter moment in their day. Therapists can also adjust tools and homework for use between sessions so the work fits everyday life.
