About Genevieve
Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of practice. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and sees clients in Ohio. She works with people facing anger, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, and other life changes.
She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and take practical steps. Sessions focus on specific skills and small behavior changes, not vague promises. Genevieve emphasizes straightforward tools for managing strong feelings and recurring patterns.
Her background includes a career change from business management in 2013, which shaped how she views life transitions and recovery after hard times. That experience informs her work with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and abandonment or adoption-related concerns.
In sessions she uses client-centered techniques alongside evidence-based methods such as DBT and motivational interviewing when they fit the situation. Expect conversations that balance listening with concrete skill practice - breathing or grounding exercises, thought-work, and action plans to test new behaviors.
She also helps with issues tied to identity, body image, addiction, codependency, and career strain. Work can include developing communication strategies, boundary-setting, and managing resentment that builds over time. The focus is on practical change and clearer choices rather than labels or judgments.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It is useful for persistent anger, anxiety, and life-change challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anger, depression, and anxious thinking. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each client and recommend which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let people practice skills between sessions in their everyday settings and bring real-life situations into therapy for immediate feedback.Areas of expertise
