About Genevieve

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed social worker practicing in Ohio and Kentucky who brings a compassionate, person-centered approach to helping people navigate difficult life moments. Holding LCSW and LISW credentials - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker - she combines clinical training with a genuine commitment to understanding each individual's story and strengths.

Her practice grew from a personal career shift in 2013 when she left business management for a more heart-led vocation. That transition informs her belief that meaningful growth can emerge from hardship, and it fuels her dedication to supporting clients through identity work, self-love, empowerment, and personal transformation. She also provides focused support for the psychological effects of chronic illness and pain.

Drawing on evidence-based methods, Genevieve works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, and questions of life purpose. She seeks to create a non-judgmental space where clients can build resilience, increase self-awareness, and develop practical strategies for sustainable change. Her goal is to help clients translate insight into everyday coping skills and to foster lasting improvements in well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and commit to actions that create a more meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can help with depression, anxiety, and problem-solving during stressful times.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic relationship in which the therapist listens carefully and reflects the client’s experience to support self-discovery and personal growth. This approach is well suited to work on identity, empowerment, and relational concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Genevieve collaborates with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere. These modalities increase accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or long distances to travel, while supporting continuity of care and consistent progress over time.
