Sophia Mas, LMHC

Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 30 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem. Sophia also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Her style is practical and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and hands-on strategies people can use between meetings. She listens carefully and offers empathy while helping clients name what matters to them and try different ways to cope. Sophia aims to create a nonjudgmental space that encourages steady progress.

Sophia draws from several approaches including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She mixes techniques to fit each person’s situation rather than relying on one single method. That flexibility helps address both immediate problems and deeper patterns that keep repeating.

Her background includes work in emergency care, community mental health, and private practice. Over three decades she has supported people with mood disorders, trauma, grief, and complex stress reactions. Those settings have shaped a calm, practical way of working that prioritizes respect and collaboration.

To begin, she asks people to share what brought them to therapy and which changes matter most. From that starting point, she helps set small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better relationships.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then to take steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, mood struggles, and coping with stressful events. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behavior and helps people build safer, more stable ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time that might otherwise interrupt work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions by focusing on practical skills, homework between meetings, and clear goals that move therapy forward.
