About Sophie
Sophie Paquette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW practicing in South Carolina with nine years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges such as addiction and relationship strain. Sophie frames clients as the experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths to address what gets in the way of feeling more capable.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Sophie uses talk and action together - identifying patterns, testing new responses, and practicing skills between meetings.
Sophie draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Solution-Focused techniques help when people want short-term, goal-driven work.
For trauma and abuse concerns she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy approaches aimed at reducing distress and increasing coping skills. Sophie pays attention to how past events affect current reactions like anger, panic, or avoidance, and she helps people develop practical strategies to manage those reactions.
People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward feedback, concrete tools to practice, and a focus on the next step. She encourages honest conversation about what is and isn’t working and adjusts the plan as needed to fit each person’s life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's goals and perspective. In online work this means conversations are guided by what the person says matters most, and the therapist reflects that back to help clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises in session and homework between sessions to try new responses to anger and anxiety. Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels useful and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. Expect periodic review of progress and practical changes if something isn't helping. Session logistics should fit into everyday life. Confirm which formats are offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule meetings during work breaks, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when bandwidth or time is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these conveniences to help sessions slot into busy routines while focusing on real, usable skills for managing anger and stress.Areas of expertise
