About Sophia
Sophia Mas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 30 years of experience supporting people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness and disability.

Sophia blends several approaches depending on what a person needs. That can include cognitive and behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and habits, acceptance-based strategies to reduce struggle with difficult feelings, and attachment-informed work to improve closeness and trust in relationships. She adapts methods to the person rather than following a single formula.
Her background includes work in emergency care, community mental health, and private practice across a wide range of presenting issues. This variety has shaped a flexible way of working with people from different walks of life.
Sophia aims to create a respectful, caring environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She partners with people to build the skills they need to manage symptoms, navigate tough changes, and move toward greater wellbeing and resilience.

How Sophia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, chronic health struggles, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with depression, anxiety, sleep, and eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and connection; it can be helpful when communication, trust, or intimacy are a concern.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and daily realities, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on how the work is going.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during the day. It also lets people continue therapy while managing chronic illness or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based exercises to remote sessions so people practice new skills between meetings.
