Svetlana Sokol

Svetlana Sokol is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 18 years of practice. She brings long experience working alongside people facing illness, loss, and major life shifts. Svetlana speaks English and Russian and offers care from her Florida practice.

She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her and clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.

Svetlana has spent many years in medical settings. That work led her to support people coping with chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and caregiver stress. She also helps people processing grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and addiction-related struggles.

Clients seeking help for relationship strain, intimacy questions, family conflict, parenting stress, or career uncertainty often find clearer next steps in sessions. She also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, immigration-related stress, and issues tied to gender and sexual identity.

Svetlana aims for straightforward, practical sessions. She listens first, then helps set goals and small steps. Her style is collaborative and focused on what will make day-to-day life more manageable.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. In practice that means sessions start with what feels most urgent, and the therapist helps shape goals from there.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels stuck. The therapist uses questions and reflection to uncover personal reasons for change and to build small workable plans.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Svetlana will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She adapts pace and tasks so progress feels manageable.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, the ability to fit sessions into work or caregiving routines, and fewer barriers to attending when travel is difficult. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Overall, online sessions can make it simpler to keep therapy part of everyday life while working toward clearer next steps.
