About Sofia

Sofia Larraz is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four decades of experience helping people navigate challenges such as addictions, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a long career supporting clients through relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, intimacy issues, anger, stress, career questions, and transitions in life. Sofia also addresses multicultural concerns, LGBT issues, and women's topics with sensitivity and respect.

Her practice centers on tailoring conversations and treatment to each person's unique needs, emphasizing compassion, respect, and practical problem solving. Sofia integrates client-centered principles to prioritize clients' perspectives and the Gottman Method to address relational patterns when couples work together.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she offers multiple ways to connect and aims to make the first step toward change more manageable. With an approachable style and a focus on clear, individualized plans, Sofia supports clients exploring forgiveness, self-esteem, life purpose, communication and attachment concerns, and coping strategies for midlife or major life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person's experience without judgment and building on their strengths; it helps when people want a supportive, empathetic space to explore emotions, self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with change. The Gottman Method concentrates on practical skills for managing relationship patterns and improving communication, which can be useful for partners working on conflict, intimacy, and connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and needs, then recommend approaches or mix methods that best suit the situation; adjustments are made as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, practical tools, and ongoing check-ins while accommodating different comfort levels and communication styles.
