Sophia Hoskins, LMFT

Sophia Hoskins is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii, maintaining a private practice on Oahu where she supports individuals, couples, families and groups facing a wide range of life challenges. She helps clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, anger and adjustment difficulties, and offers guidance for relationship, parenting and intimacy-related concerns as well as issues related to trauma, addiction and grief.

Hoskins has extensive experience working with military populations, spending over nine years providing care for service members both overseas and stateside. Her work with service members has focused on trauma, deployment and reintegration stress, anger management and relationship repair. She brings that background into her civilian practice to address similar patterns of adjustment and relational strain.

Outside the therapy room she has long been active with horses, snowboarding, mountain biking and surfing, which informed a special interest in peak performance. Over the past five years she has worked with athletes to enhance both physical and mental aspects of performance as they pursue specific goals. She describes her work as an honor and aims to support clients in actualizing their strengths and aspirations.

Approaches to Healing and Connection Online

Sophia Hoskins draws on evidence-informed methods to guide clients toward clearer thinking and stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learn practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on the emotional bonds between partners and family members, helping people express needs, respond to vulnerability and rebuild secure connections. Imago Relationship Therapy offers structured tools for couples to slow down difficult conversations, understand each other more deeply and transform conflict into opportunity for growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Sophia works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She considers each person or couple's goals, life context and preferences and adapts methods over time to meet evolving needs.

Online therapy with Sophia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to access care from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, balance therapy with other responsibilities and try different formats to see what works best for each client.
