About Sofia
Sofia Larraz is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 40 years of practice. She helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, and major life changes.
She prefers straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening at home and on practical steps people can try between meetings. Sofia uses a client-focused style that centers each person's experiences and priorities. She also draws on methods aimed at improving communication and connection in close relationships.
Sofia has worked across many settings over four decades. That depth of experience informs how she notices patterns and points out small changes that can ease daily life. She pays attention to attachment and communication problems, control issues, and the stresses that come with divorce or separation.
People bring a wide range of concerns to her, including grief, trauma, parenting strain, intimacy issues, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, attention concerns, and workplace or career stress. She also addresses topics often tied to identity and culture, like LGBT matters, multicultural concerns, and women's issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Sofia’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely to each person's experience and following their priorities. It helps people who need space to sort out feelings, make decisions, or find practical next steps without an imposed agenda. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and behaviors between people. It offers clear tools for improving interactions, reducing arguments, and rebuilding connection where trust or closeness has weakened.Choosing an approach is a collaboration. Sofia will review what you want to address and suggest which methods may be most useful. She works with clients to try approaches, adjust them, and pick the mix that fits goals and daily life rather than applying a single method from the start.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep appointments and to work on parenting, relationship, or stress challenges alongside other commitments.
