About Sophie
Sophie Paquette, LCSW, CSW helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and parenting concerns. She focuses on building confidence, coping skills, and motivation so people can move toward a more fulfilling life. She starts by listening.
Sophie believes each person knows their own story and already has strengths to draw on. Sessions center on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague labels. Parents often come for help with daily overwhelm, behavior challenges, and balancing self-care with caregiving.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered care with focused strategies. That means conversations are driven by what matters most to the client, while also introducing tools that can change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and create immediate, usable changes.
Sophie also brings trauma-informed methods when past hurt affects present life. She helps people name what happened, recognize its effects, and develop ways to feel safer and more in control. Work on trauma is paced to match each person’s readiness.
Over nine years of practice, Sophie has helped people facing depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and a CSW credential. She practices in South Carolina and provides care in English.

Practical approaches for parenting and trauma online
Sophie uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs and goals. That approach prioritizes listening first and following what the client says is most important, which helps when parenting stress or grief feels overwhelming.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and habit changes that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophie will collaborate with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals, pacing the work so it feels manageable and relevant to parenting or trauma recovery.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing processing between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and life commitments without long commutes.
