About Sophie
Sophie Paquette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a CSW practicing in South Carolina with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sophie works with people who want practical support for emotional overwhelm and recurring patterns that interfere with daily life.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She treats each client as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and try small, manageable changes that can reduce distress.
Sophie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused tools. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurts affect current functioning. Therapy combines short-term skill work with space to process difficult experiences at a pace the client can manage.
She has experience across a range of concerns including adoption and foster care, domestic violence, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, body image, and first responder issues. Sophie helps people work through control issues, forgiveness, self-love, and challenges common for young adults and women.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical techniques, and follow-up between meetings when useful. The first appointment focuses on what the person wants to change and on setting small steps. Sophie asks clients to try strategies between sessions so progress can be reviewed and adjusted.
How Sophie uses CBT and related methods online
Therapy methods referenced in Sophie’s work are presented in direct, task-focused terms to help with specific problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective, using listening and reflection to clarify goals and priorities; it helps when someone needs to make sense of their experience and decide next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on building steps that move someone toward their goals rather than dwelling on the past.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sophie works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. The first sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments to try between meetings, and regular check-ins to adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting someone choose a quieter time of day. These practical benefits help therapy become part of everyday routines without promising specific outcomes.
