About Genevieve
Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing tough life chapters. She draws on a mix of practical approaches to help with stress, anxiety, grief, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and pain.
She left a business management career in 2013 to follow a more heart-led path. That change informs how she listens and the hope she brings to hard situations. Sessions are aimed at building skills for self-awareness, self-love, and personal change.
Her work often focuses on concrete problems like mood struggles, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and substance issues. She also supports people coping with caregiving strain, cancer, chronic pain, and other long-term health challenges. The aim is to make day-to-day life more manageable and values clearer.
Genevieve uses evidence-based methods such as acceptance and commitment practices, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance. In practice this looks like setting small goals, noticing unhelpful patterns, and building new ways to respond to stress.
She brings six years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LISW credentials. Genevieve practices in Ohio and works with people who want steady, nonjudgmental support while making meaningful changes in how they live and relate to themselves.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with long-term health issues by clarifying what matters and building small, concrete steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical tools to shift unhelpful habits, which is useful for mood, stress, and some trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The work is paced to fit the individual's needs and tolerance for change.
Please confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also make shorter check-ins or practices between appointments easier to manage. Licensed professionals can tailor techniques like mindfulness exercises, behavioral assignments, and ACT skills to suit remote sessions and everyday life.
