About Genevieve

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her work in Ohio. Genevieve aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on steps that lead to real change.

Her sessions are grounded in approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices.

Background and approach

She blends these methods to reduce symptoms and build skills for daily life. Conversations are direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on what clients can try between meetings. Genevieve often supports people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and challenges around self-esteem and relationships.

She also helps those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and parenting concerns. She offers ways to cope with big transitions, anger, and career-related stress. Her background includes a career shift from business management to clinical work, a change that shaped her practical outlook on healing.

That experience informs how she talks about resilience and transformation. Sessions focus on making progress manageable and realistic for each person. In session clients can expect a collaborative plan with clear goals and actionable steps.

Genevieve uses listening and practical skill-building to help people move from feeling stuck to making lasting changes. She conducts work in English and practices in Ohio.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting-related stress when someone wants real-world changes tied to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors through small experiments and homework. CBT often helps with anxiety, mood changes, and building routines that support daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Genevieve will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews what’s working and adjusts plans over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule meetings around work, childcare, or medical appointments while keeping progress steady.
