Genevieve Sofranec , LCSW, LISW

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed social worker who uses a mix of practical, evidence-based methods to help people through hard times. She is an LCSW and LISW practicing in Ohio with six years of clinical experience. Genevieve focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also helps people facing identity questions, addiction, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and body-image worries.

Her work is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on skills that can be used between meetings. Genevieve draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to build coping strategies and break unhelpful patterns.

She often supports people dealing with trauma, abandonment, divorce, and family-related stress. Genevieve also works with clients facing career pressure, compassion fatigue, and parenting strain. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current coping and relationships.

Genevieve changed careers from business management to therapy after a difficult personal period, and that experience informs her empathy and practical focus. In sessions she helps clients explore values, increase self-awareness, and set small, achievable steps toward change. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative.

People who choose her can expect clear tools, short-term skill building, and work on deeper themes over time. She aims to help clients gain more confidence, steadier moods, and clearer direction when facing life transitions and complex emotional challenges.

Therapeutic approaches available online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by encouraging small value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and developing coping strategies for daily stressors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt techniques to fit each person's needs. Sessions often combine methods so people learn both short-term tools and longer-term ways to handle recurring problems.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when written reflection is preferred. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and medical schedules while using the approaches above to address stress, trauma, relationship concerns, and more.
