Sophia Mas

Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and other emotional challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida while working with some international clients.

Her style is practical and interactive. She listens actively and uses empathy to build trust. Sessions focus on real problems and on skills people can use between meetings. Sophia aims to help people find relief and move toward a more stable daily life.

Sophia mixes several therapeutic approaches to fit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based strategies to increase willingness to face difficult feelings. She also uses attachment-focused work to understand how early relationships shape current patterns.

She has worked across many settings, from emergency care to community mental health to private practice. That variety informs her ability to respond to crises and to steady, long-term issues. Sophia says she values respect and caring for everyone who comes to therapy.

In sessions she helps people untangle thoughts and feelings and practice new ways of coping. The goal is to restore a sense of wellbeing and give people tools to handle future stressors. She encourages each person’s strengths and supports steps toward healing and empowerment.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to shift mood and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and can be helpful for relationship and intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and challenges, then try methods that feel like a good fit. If something doesn’t work, adjustments are made together so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm available session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, for example by making it easier to schedule around work, reducing travel time, or allowing shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is needed. If someone prefers a particular rhythm or structure, that can be discussed and arranged based on what the therapist is offering at the time.
