About Genevieve Sofranec

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed therapist practicing in Ohio and Kentucky who provides compassionate, personalized care to people navigating complex emotions and life transitions. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker - and centers her work on creating a non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their histories, build resilience, and develop practical strategies for wellbeing.

After a career shift in 2013 from business management to a heart-led helping profession following a difficult period, she developed a deep commitment to supporting others through personal transformation. That experience shapes her particular focus on self-love, empowerment, identity work, and reducing the psychological impact of chronic illness and pain.

Drawing on evidence-based practices, she supports people managing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and questions about life purpose. Her work aims to increase self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and foster sustainable change by collaborating with each person to set realistic goals and build practical strategies for day-to-day life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work

Genevieve integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - this approach is useful for managing anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping skills for issues like depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, Client-Centered Therapy is a foundation of her work, offering a compassionate, empathic stance that prioritizes the client’s own experience and supports growth through understanding and validation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Genevieve works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is most effective for the individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, ongoing support between appointments, and access for those managing health or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapy into daily life with licensed professionals and therapists who can meet clients where they are.
