Sophie Juola, LPC

Sophie Juola, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers supportive therapy for individuals and couples ages 11 to 75 facing stress related to school or work, trauma, relationship conflict, and the effects of addiction. She works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, work-related stress, relationship concerns, and substance use, helping them identify practical goals and move toward healthier patterns.

Sophie emphasizes meaningful, sustainable change and views mental health as an essential part of overall health. Her style is person-centered and collaborative, integrating evidence-based practices with trauma-focused interventions so that sessions proceed at a pace that feels right for each person. She invites clients to share preferences about session structure and feedback style, whether direct or gentle, and partners with them to set and reevaluate goals.

Sophie believes that taking a first step matters more than having everything figured out. She supports clients as they build strength, advocate for their needs, and work toward a future that feels steadier and more fulfilling.

Person-centered and Trauma-focused Care Delivered Online

Sophie uses person-centered methods that prioritize the client’s own goals and pace - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so individuals and couples can explore what matters most to them and set practical steps toward change. She also integrates trauma-focused interventions, which focus on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of past traumatic experiences and related symptoms that interfere with daily life. In addition, Sophie applies a range of evidence-based practices, using structured strategies shown to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Sophie treats selection of techniques as a collaborative process - she will discuss options, solicit feedback, and adjust methods based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences to find the best fit together.

Online therapy with Sophie offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still engaging in focused, goal-oriented therapeutic work.
