About Genevieve

Genevieve Sofranec brings a client-centered, evidence-informed approach to therapy, blending skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. She emphasizes practical strategies alongside compassionate support to help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and the everyday stressors that can undermine well-being.

Background and approach

Genevieve’s practice includes work around relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges, with attention to how chronic illness, pain, and life transitions shape emotional health.

Genevieve transitioned into clinical social work after a career in business management, a change that deepened her commitment to heart-led work and informed her perspective on resilience and personal transformation. She draws on six years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LISW credentials, offering a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore identity, self-esteem, boundaries, and empowerment.

She collaborates with each person to develop sustainable coping skills, increase self-awareness, and pursue meaningful change while tailoring methods to individual needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making purposeful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical skill-building and problem solving, which often helps with mood, anxiety, and coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, then recommend and adapt methods so therapy fits each person’s needs rather than applying a single technique across the board.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods or when in-person attendance is difficult, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide skill practice, homework, and reflection across sessions.
