About Sophia

Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three decades of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, addictions, and challenges like self-esteem, parenting, sleep or eating concerns. Sophia conducts sessions in English and Spanish and offers online formats for people living in Florida and beyond.

She prefers a practical, interactive style that focuses on solutions and real-life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions often include skill-building, communication practice, and problem-solving tailored to each household or relationship. Sophia blends evidence-based methods with approaches that address emotions, attachment patterns, and day-to-day coping skills. Her work has ranged from emergency care to community mental health and independent practice.

That variety informs an adaptable approach for different life situations and stressors. She aims to treat each person with respect and to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be named. Therapy with Sophia typically involves listening carefully, reflecting what matters to a client, and helping people try small, manageable steps between meetings.

She helps clients identify patterns that limit wellbeing and practices new ways of relating and coping. The goal is clearer communication, more effective choices, and a greater sense of control over daily life. Choosing therapy can feel hard.

Sophia works collaboratively to set goals and supports people as they build skills for long-term change. Her LMHC license in Florida is FL LMHC MH8174 and she brings 30 years of experience to each session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focuses on choosing actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and big life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating in close relationships and helps people change how they connect, which is helpful for couples, family communication, and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person or couple. Over time they will adjust techniques based on what helps most, mixing approaches when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow people to work on communication practice, behavioral experiments, skill-building, and emotional processing from home or another convenient place. The variety of formats supports different schedules and learning styles while keeping the work focused on real-world change.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
