Genevieve Sofranec, LCSW, LISW

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed therapist who works with people navigating complex emotional landscapes in Ohio and Kentucky. She brings compassionate, individualized care to each client and creates a respectful, non-judgmental space where personal stories can be explored and understood. Genevieve holds LCSW and LISW credentials, clinical social work licenses that reflect advanced training to provide therapeutic services.

Her professional path shifted in 2013 when she left a career in business management after a particularly difficult period, choosing work that felt more heart-led. That transition informs her empathy and fuels her commitment to helping others find self-love, empowerment, identity, and meaningful change. She is especially interested in supporting people through personal transformation and in reducing the psychological impact of chronic illness and pain.

Drawing on evidence-based methods, Genevieve supports individuals managing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and questions about life purpose. Her approach emphasizes building greater self-awareness, resilience, and practical strategies that promote steady, sustainable change. She aims to partner with each person to identify strengths and develop tools that fit their life and goals.

Approaches used online to support growth and healing

Genevieve draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to act in line with what matters to them, which can be useful for coping with chronic stress, life transitions, or persistent worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also uses elements of Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathetic, non-judgmental support that helps individuals feel heard and understood as they define their own goals. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Genevieve collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts the plan over time.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to continue work between sessions in ways that suit each person.
