About Genevieve Sofranec
Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed social worker who brings a compassionate, person-focused approach to helping people navigate difficult emotional terrain. She practices with attention to each individual's story, guiding clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and the stresses of life transition while supporting growth in areas like self-esteem, identity, and empowerment. Genevieve combines evidence-based techniques with a strengths-oriented stance to help people build resilience and develop practical strategies for long-term well-being.
Her path to therapy began with a major career change in 2013, when she moved from business management into clinical work after a personally challenging period. That shift reinforced her belief that significant personal growth can emerge from hardship, and it informs her particular interest in work around self-love, personal transformation, and the psychological impact of chronic illness and pain.
Genevieve holds the credentials LCSW and LISW, which mean she is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Independent Social Worker. She is licensed to practice in Ohio and Kentucky and draws on modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Her practice focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can explore their histories, strengthen self-awareness, and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Genevieve often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a values-centered method that helps people accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action toward what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard so individuals can explore identity, self-worth, and relational concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she applies to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Genevieve collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy allows for flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make scheduling easier and reduce barriers to consistent care. These options help people access a licensed professional in formats that fit their daily life while maintaining a focused, therapeutic process.
