Genevieve Sofranec , LCSW, LISW

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed therapist practicing in Ohio and Kentucky who helps people navigate complex emotional experiences with compassion and practical support. She centers her work on individualized care, offering a nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore personal histories, build resilience, and create sustainable strategies for wellbeing. Her practice is attentive to diverse life circumstances and emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and clear, evidence-informed methods.

After a significant career change in 2013, when she left business management for a more heart-led path following a difficult period, she developed a particular commitment to helping others find empowerment and self-compassion. That experience shapes her interest in work around self-love, identity, personal transformation, and reducing the psychological impact of chronic illness and pain. She draws on a range of evidence-based approaches to address anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and questions of life purpose.

She holds LCSW and LISW credentials - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LISW stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker - reflecting her training in clinical social work. Her goal is to support clients in deepening self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and making meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, avoidance, and for building a more purposeful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change how someone feels and functions; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and worry. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering practical tools for emotion regulation, grounding, and reducing reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Genevieve works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques from these models to tailor care rather than relying on a single method, and she invites feedback so the approach can evolve as goals change.

Online therapy with Genevieve is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapy to fit into the practical demands of daily life.
