About Genevieve
Genevieve Sofranec is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and an Independent Social Work Licensee (LISW) practicing in Ohio with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Genevieve also addresses addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She came to clinical social work after a career in business management and a personal turning point in 2013. That change shaped how she thinks about hard experiences and recovery. She uses practical strategies to help people get through transitions and rebuild routine when things feel overwhelming.
Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on clear skills and everyday habits - things people can try between meetings to manage anxiety, mood, or reactivity.
Genevieve pays attention to the practical pressures in life: work, money, caregiving, and health challenges. She helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and develop small steps toward goals like reducing overwhelm or handling relationship conflict.
People who choose her typically want straightforward guidance and tools they can use at home. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session where current concerns and next steps are mapped out.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it pairs well with ACT and CBT for anxiety and chronic stress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss client goals, daily routines, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, scheduling during a lunch break, avoiding a commute, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is tight. It also allows using mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between meetings to reinforce progress.
