About Genevieve

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate tough emotional times. She blends practical therapy with a calm, steady presence to help clients feel understood and get unstuck. She focuses on real problems people bring in day to day.

That includes anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy worries, parenting strain, and issues related to addiction and recovery.

Background and approach

Genevieve left a business career in 2013 to follow work that felt more meaningful. That shift grew her interest in supporting people through big life changes and identity work. Her background also includes helping clients cope with chronic illness, pain, and caregiver stress.

Her style draws on several proven methods. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive tools, mindfulness, and client-centered listening to tailor sessions to each person. Sessions focus on building steady habits, clearer thinking, and practical steps clients can try between meetings.

With six years of clinical experience and licenses as an LCSW and an LISW, she combines professional knowledge with everyday language. People who come to her can expect straightforward care, tools for handling hard moments, and a steady partner while they work toward change.

Online support

Approach and online options for meaningful change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and choosing actions that match your values. It can help when life feels stuck or when anxiety and avoidance get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that keep problems going and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and everyday stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk through issues and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods and collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as different tools are tried and evaluated.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are closest to an in-person session and work well for deep conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, short skill practice, or support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try methods that suit their schedule and comfort.
