Genevieve Sofranec, LCSW, LISW

Genevieve Sofranec is a licensed clinical social worker in Ohio and also holds an independent social work license in Kentucky. She has six years of clinical experience helping people who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. She also works with concerns such as grief, addiction, ADHD, and codependency.

She left a career in business management after 2013 and shifted into clinical work following a difficult personal period. That change shapes how she approaches the work now: practical, direct, and informed by life experience as well as training. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can take to feel steadier and make clearer choices.

Her practice draws from therapies that emphasize present-moment awareness and values-guided action. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify what matters, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in a person’s priorities. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when helpful to manage strong emotions and stress.

Genevieve helps people address a wide range of life stressors, including caregiver strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, body image, and separation or divorce. She supports people working through drug and alcohol problems and those facing workplace burnout or compassion fatigue.

People who come to her typically want practical tools and steady guidance. She asks questions, offers strategies, and works collaboratively so clients can rebuild a sense of direction and agency in everyday life.
