About Genevieve
Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most. Genevieve holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices in Ohio.
Her work is grounded in therapies that focus on values, thinking patterns, and present-moment awareness.
Background and approach
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive approaches and mindfulness tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps toward valued goals. Sessions often include straightforward skills practice and short experiments to test new ways of coping. Genevieve also draws on client-centered principles, offering warmth and listening that help people feel heard.
When emotions run high she uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills. The aim is to build practical skills people can reuse between sessions. She has a special interest in challenges tied to relationships, identity, and life transitions.
That includes support for people dealing with grief, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, body image, and the emotional effects of chronic illness. Conversations focus on clear next steps rather than vague advice. Her path to therapy began after leaving business management in 2013, which shaped her focus on resilience and meaning.
She encourages small, steady changes and helps people measure progress in real life. Genevieve works with adults seeking clearer priorities and better day-to-day coping.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take action even when feelings are difficult. It focuses on values and small steps toward a meaningful life rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought or feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often uses brief experiments and practical exercises to change thinking patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust as you go. Together you decide which tools and skills feel most helpful and realistic for your life.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, skill reminders, or when checking in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping a steady rhythm of support.
