About Genevieve
Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker. She holds an LCSW in Kentucky and an LISW in Ohio and has six years of clinical experience helping adults manage a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges.
She left a career in business management after 2013 and brought that practical perspective into her therapeutic work. That change shaped how she listens and works with people facing major life shifts or long-term health challenges. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings as well as steady emotional processing in session.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to increase moment-to-moment coping and emotional regulation.
Genevieve often helps people dealing with identity and relationship concerns, addiction or substance issues, and the fallout from abandonment or blended family dynamics. She also works with clients facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image or self-esteem struggles.
In sessions she aims to be straightforward and practical. People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning for real-world changes. She works with adults in English and holds licenses in KY and OH.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small, practical steps toward those values. It can be useful when someone faces life changes, parenting strain, or decisions about relationships and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together. It offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to choose methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. That might mean starting with skills from CBT, then adding mindfulness or ACT exercises as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use video or phone to support consistent weekly work, skill practice, and real-world planning, but please verify which formats this clinician currently offers.
