About Genevieve
Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and life changes. She holds licenses as an LCSW and an LISW and practices from an approach that values compassion and practical tools. Her tone is straightforward and steady, aimed at people who want clear steps and real support.
She draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. Clients learn skills to manage worry, cope with grief, and reduce the impact of trauma and chronic illness.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes might make daily life easier. Genevieve understands how big life shifts can prompt big feelings. She shifted careers from business management in 2013 after a difficult period and now uses that experience in her work.
That background shapes how she helps people rebuild confidence, figure out values, and move toward goals that feel meaningful. In the therapy room she blends acceptance-based practices, cognitive strategies, and mindfulness. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between sessions.
She also addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, and challenges related to addiction or codependency. Her work is practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer steps they can use right away.
Genevieve keeps the pace collaborative, matching tools to each person’s needs and life demands.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation by shifting attention from fighting feelings to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is useful for managing worry, low mood, and repetitive negative thinking by testing thoughts and practicing new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase present-moment awareness, which often eases stress and improves emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they adapt techniques and pace so the work fits the person's daily life and needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for a face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be a good fit when a shorter check-in or lower data use is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send brief updates or check-ins between sessions and to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These formats increase flexibility and help people access consistent support around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
