About Genevieve

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate hard emotional moments. She brings a calm, practical approach and focuses on building tools that make daily life more manageable. Genevieve works from Ohio and holds LCSW and LISW credentials.

She shifted careers from business management in 2013 after a difficult personal period, and that change informs how she supports others. Genevieve emphasizes real-world strategies for stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also helps people facing relationship strain, issues around identity and self-esteem, and the emotional impacts of chronic illness.

Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. Sessions tend to focus on identifying values, building practical skills, and creating manageable routines.

Genevieve has about six years of clinical experience and is comfortable addressing complex concerns like trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, and parenting stress. She also lists adoption and foster care among her additional focus areas for people coping with related emotional challenges.

Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgmental atmosphere where the therapist listens closely and helps set achievable steps. The emphasis is on building resilience, self-awareness, and clearer patterns of action that fit each person's life.

Using evidence-informed approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and building motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift patterns causing distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since format details are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during life transitions and provide steady support while they try new coping strategies.
