Sophia Mas

Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, trauma, and challenges like sleep or eating problems. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making each session feel useful and manageable.

Sophia uses a mix of plain-talk therapy methods. She listens closely, asks clear questions, and works with clients to set realistic goals. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as strategies for managing strong emotions or improving communication with others.

Her background includes work across emergency care, community mental health, and private practice. That range has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and life situations. She emphasizes respect and warmth in every interaction, so people feel heard and not judged.

Sophia integrates several common therapy methods when they fit the situation. She combines evidence-based techniques with relationship-focused work to address both symptoms and day-to-day challenges. The aim is to help people regain a sense of balance and purpose as they navigate change.

She also has experience relevant to hospice and end-of-life counseling and supports people coping with loss and the stress that comes with serious life transitions. Sophia offers services in English and Spanish and sees people in Florida and internationally when arrangements allow.

How her approach translates to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, and it can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which often helps with mood, anxiety, eating, and sleep issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what works in real life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that’s helpful, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. It also lets people keep continuity of care when they move or travel internationally. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and focused so therapy fits into everyday life rather than taking it over.
