Genevieve Sofranec

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker who centers trauma-focused work alongside practical tools to manage everyday stress. She uses straightforward strategies to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, chronic illness, or life changes. Genevieve aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most and begin to make small, steady changes.

She shifted careers from business management in 2013 after a difficult personal period, and that experience shaped how she approaches therapy. Genevieve draws on that background to connect with people facing major transitions, identity questions, or the aftermath of painful events. She emphasizes self-compassion, clear goals, and building daily habits that support recovery.

Her work uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside practical methods from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work. Sessions often focus on reducing distressing symptoms, improving coping skills, and strengthening choices that match personal values. Genevieve also incorporates client-centered listening to make sure each plan fits the person in front of her.

With six years of clinical experience, she has supported people through addiction issues, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to chronic pain or illness. She also helps with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, body image, and career stress.

Genevieve holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices in Ohio. She works in English and asks people to confirm current session options before booking. To get started, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How trauma-focused and acceptance approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful events and reduce their day-to-day impact. It focuses on understanding the effects of trauma and building skills to feel steadier in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts, clarify personal values, and take actions that matter despite hard feelings. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and collaboration so the plan matches each person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so the plan fits real life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions helpful for maintaining continuity of care and practicing skills between meetings. Ask about the available session types during the matching process to choose what works best for you.
