Sofia Larraz

Sofia Larraz is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience helping people face anger, addiction, relationship strain, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical support for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.

Sofia keeps sessions respectful and direct. She tailors conversations to each person's needs and works at the client’s pace. Her style centers on listening first, then building a clear plan that addresses the issues that matter most to the client.

She has long experience guiding people through coping with addictions, grief, depression, bipolar concerns, and anxiety. Sofia also helps with parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, and communication problems that fuel arguments or resentment.

When relationships are strained she uses approaches that encourage clearer communication and shared understanding. For people who worry about control issues or attachment concerns, she supports steps toward healthier patterns and steadier day-to-day routines.

Sofia believes small changes add up. She focuses on practical steps - clearer boundaries, better listening, and manageable coping strategies - so clients can notice progress between sessions. She invites people to take the first step and offers steady support through the change process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sofia uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through anger, grief, or stress and arrive at concrete next steps that feel doable.

She also draws on elements of the Gottman Method to support clearer communication and reduce recurring conflict in relationships. That approach emphasizes practical skills for talking, listening, and rebuilding trust when arguments or distance have grown between partners.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sofia will work with each person to figure out what fits their goals, concerns, and personal preferences, and then adjust the work as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow steady continuity when life is hard to rearrange. It also lets people focus on skills practice and communication exercises between meetings without changing daily routines.
