About Sophia
Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
She favors a practical, interactive approach that focuses on real-world problems and skills. Sophia uses talk-based work alongside structured techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns, manage intense emotions, and improve communication. Clients can expect clear steps and exercises they can try between sessions.
Her background includes work in emergency care, community mental health, and private practice. That range has exposed her to short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy with complex mood and trauma-related issues. She has supported people through grief, major life transitions, and persistent interpersonal conflict.
Sophia blends several clinical methods depending on the issue at hand. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thinking and behavior changes, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and Attachment-Based ideas for improving relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques also inform her sessions.
In practice she listens actively, helps clients name patterns, and teaches concrete skills for managing anger, stress, and relationship friction. The work aims to reduce the frequency of reactive responses and increase choices in how someone responds to strong feelings. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help when anger comes from avoidance or getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical experiments to change those patterns. CBT is often used for anger that follows automatic negative thoughts or rigid beliefs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for handling intense moments without escalating. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, try out methods, and adjust what’s used based on what helps. Sessions can include teaching, role plays, homework exercises, and real-time skills coaching depending on the focus. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur and bring real-life examples into the session for immediate feedback.Areas of focus
