About Sophie
Sophie Jaffe is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting, stress, anxiety, or major life changes. She aims to meet each person where they are and make therapy feel approachable and useful. Sophie works in Florida and brings ten years of experience to sessions.
She offers straightforward support for emotional struggles and for rebuilding daily routines. Her approach is warm and conversational.
Background and approach
Sophie listens first, then helps clients identify small, realistic steps they can try between sessions. She uses proven strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns that get in the way. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and mindfulness practices offer tools for handling intense emotions in the moment.
Sophie has worked in a variety of settings, including virtual care and hospital environments, and has supported people coping with medical problems that affect mood. Those experiences inform how she tailors sessions to practical needs. She focuses on clear problem identification and collaborative problem solving rather than jargon or tests.
Sessions with Sophie are intended to feel respectful and compassionate. She encourages open conversation and helps people set achievable goals. Many clients focus on improving relationships, managing anxiety or depression, addressing addictive behaviors, or finding clearer direction in their career or parenting roles.
Over time Sophie helps clients build small habits that make daily life easier. Her goal is to help people feel more capable, less stuck, and better able to handle parenting demands and other stressors.

How Sophie uses practical approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by drawing out their own reasons and strengthening commitment to small, manageable steps.Sophie treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She listens to your goals and preferences, explains how each method works, and adapts techniques as you go. Together you decide whether to emphasize skills practice, values-based action, or motivational work depending on what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, skill prompts, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and to try different ways of working until you find what helps most.
