Genevieve Sofranec , LCSW, LISW

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed social worker who brings a compassionate, person-centered approach to helping people navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. She combines evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on individual strengths to support clients coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and chronic illness. Genevieve draws on six years of clinical experience to help people build self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and create practical strategies for sustainable change.

Her path to therapy began with a career shift in 2013, when she moved from business management into a heart-led helping profession after a personally challenging period. That transition informs her belief that growth can emerge from hardship and fuels her commitment to work with clients exploring identity, self-love, empowerment, and personal transformation. She also has a focused interest in reducing the psychological impact of chronic pain and long-term health conditions.

Genevieve holds the credentials LCSW and LISW - LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LISW is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - and maintains licenses in Kentucky and Ohio. Her practice emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental space where each person’s story is honored and collaborative goals are developed to promote meaningful well-being.

Clinical approaches for effective online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, supports people in clarifying their values and taking committed actions toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and living with long-term health challenges because it emphasizes valued direction over symptom control.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting environment where the client’s own insights and strengths guide progress. This approach can be especially useful for exploring identity, self-esteem, relationship patterns, and personal transformation through a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and coping difficulties. It tends to be goal-oriented and skill-focused, providing clear strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Genevieve works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as those needs evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support from home or while traveling. These formats provide scheduling flexibility, reduce commute time, and allow clients to choose the communication style that best suits their life and comfort level.
