About Sophia

Sophia Mas is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 30 years of experience. She helps adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, addiction concerns, trauma and related challenges. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, anger, and life changes such as divorce or caregiving stress.

Her style is practical and interactive. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps rather than lengthy theory. She draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors one week and on attachment or emotion work the next.

Sophia has worked in many settings over her career, including emergency care, community mental health, and private practice. That background shapes how she helps people handle crises and everyday strain alike. She also has experience addressing complex mood and personality concerns alongside more common problems like anxiety and parenting stress.

In sessions she listens and clarifies what matters most to each person. Conversations move toward manageable changes - communication skills, emotion regulation tools, or values-guided choices. Progress is tracked in concrete ways, for example by practicing a skill between meetings and reviewing what helped.

She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is required before the first meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on their values and take small actions toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It works well for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people practice different ways of connecting and communicating with others.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust if something is not working. That collaborative process helps find the mix of techniques that best fits communication, emotion regulation, and relationship goals.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking. The therapist offers online work and accepts international clients, but exact session formats are not specified here, so ask to confirm current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or audio according to what feels manageable, which can help focus on skills practice, reviewing communication patterns, and tracking small changes between meetings.
