About Sophia

Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with three decades of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports concerns like addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and relationships. Sophia works in both English and Spanish and practices in Florida. In session she focuses on practical, interactive steps that feel useful right away. She listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. Sophia draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. Her background includes work across many settings, from emergency care to community mental health and private practice. That variety shaped a flexible way of working with people in different life stages and circumstances, including caregiver stress and aging and geriatric issues. Sophia aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be put into words. She uses active listening and empathy to help people see patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions often include practical tools and skills for everyday life. She encourages a step-by-step approach to change, helping clients build skills that support better sleep, healthier relationships, and steadier moods. The goal is to help people feel more capable and able to handle life changes and challenges. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The intake process helps identify immediate concerns and shape a plan that fits each persons goals.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters to them. It supports folks dealing with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what they want to stand for and do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve mood. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the clients needs and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.

Confirm current online session options before booking to learn which formats are available with this therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also offer flexibility for someone juggling caregiving responsibilities, work, or health limitations. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills and try new ways of handling stress and relationships without changing the core work of therapy.
