About Sophia

Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and concerns such as self-esteem, sleep, eating, and career challenges.

She uses straightforward, solution-focused work that combines conventional and alternative techniques. Sessions are interactive and practical. Sophia listens, reflects, and helps people identify steps they can try between meetings.

Her background includes work in emergency care, community mental health, and private practice. That variety informs how she responds to crises and longer-term concerns. She has supported people through mood disorders and complex emotional difficulties across many settings.

Sophia often draws on cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings, and acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take small actions toward them.

Sessions can include skills work from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation or distress tolerance is needed. Sophia also integrates client-centered principles, keeping the person’s goals central to the work. She works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients; confirm the current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters to them. In practice this can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying values and guiding small actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how they shape emotions and behavior, which is often useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophia will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process may include switching emphasis if something isn’t working or combining tools from different approaches.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can suit quieter surroundings or brief skill-focused sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like CBT worksheets, ACT exercises, and DBT skills practice to remote meetings so the work stays practical and action-oriented.
