About Svetlana
Svetlana Sokol is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She brings long-term clinical work and a calm, straightforward manner to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Clients meet a clinician who listens first and helps them map practical next steps.
Svetlana has worked in medical settings since 2005, which shaped how she supports people facing chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver strain. That background also informs her work with trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Background and approach
She aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to keep goals realistic. Sessions focus on the concerns people name most often: family problems, parenting strain, addiction challenges, and changes in life circumstances. She also works with issues such as codependency, intimacy questions, and career stress.
Svetlana can address complex situations like domestic violence, immigration stress, or HIV/AIDS in straightforward terms. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That means conversations start with the person’s goals, then use clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns and boost motivation.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Svetlana provides services in English and Russian and sees clients in Florida. Her work emphasizes small, achievable changes so people leave sessions with concrete next steps and a clearer sense of how to move forward.

How Svetlana’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by putting the person’s goals and priorities first. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and supports clients in naming practical steps to move forward. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Svetlana uses CBT techniques to help people notice patterns, test new ways of thinking, and try different behaviors that can reduce anxiety or depression. That can be helpful for stress, grief, or mood concerns.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses open questions and gentle feedback to build motivation and clarify personal reasons to act. It pairs well with CBT when people want to change habits or address addictions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Svetlana will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan over time. Clients can expect regular check-ins about progress and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling appointments, caregiving, or work commitments.
