About Sofia
Sofia Larraz helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting stress, and life changes. She works with anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Sofia speaks English and Spanish and brings 40 years of clinical experience to her practice.
Sofia uses a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first and adapts conversations to each person. She treats people with sensitivity and compassion while focusing on practical steps they can try between meetings.
How Sofia works
Her work often looks at how attachment and communication patterns shape current problems. She supports people dealing with control issues, anger, forgiveness, and multicultural concerns. She also addresses career questions, life purpose, and midlife transitions.
When relationships are a concern, Sofia draws on the Gottman Method to examine interaction patterns and improve communication. She pairs that with a client-centered style that keeps each person’s goals central to the work. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's needs.
Sofia is licensed as a LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She practices in Florida and designs treatment to fit each person's situation. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to be a steady, practical partner through the process.

Practical approaches for online relationship and life work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's needs. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name their goals so sessions follow what matters most. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.The Gottman Method focuses on how partners interact and communicate. It looks at patterns that create conflict and teaches concrete skills for improving conversations, rebuilding trust, and managing strong emotions during disagreements.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's situation. Progress is reviewed together and the plan is adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is not ideal. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do shorter check-ins, or communicate when busy schedules make longer appointments difficult.
