About Sofia
Sofia Larraz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 40 years of professional experience. She helps people manage anger, relationship strain, addictions, stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Larraz uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She listens to how anger and frustration show up in daily life and talks through practical ways to respond. Conversations include looking at relationship patterns, communication problems, and control issues that feed resentment or snapping at others.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with relationship and family concerns. She brings decades of practice to issues like intimacy-related problems, coping after loss, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Career and midlife questions are also part of her caseload.
Therapy often focuses on improving communication and attachment-related patterns. The Gottman Method tools are used for couples work when appropriate, and Client-Centered Therapy shapes the session to the person in front of her. This means sessions move at a pace the client finds workable.
Practical goals are common in her work: reduce reactive anger, rebuild trust after conflict, manage stress at home or work, and strengthen parenting approaches. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue through steady therapeutic conversation.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are the steps to get started. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping the conversation around the client's concerns. This approach helps when anger shows up as frustration, resentment, or difficulty communicating in relationships.The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for improving communication and reducing repeated conflict patterns. It is often used when relationship dynamics and intimacy-related issues are part of the problem and when partners want structured ways to talk and repair.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That conversation happens together, and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
