About Sophie
Sophie Paquette is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in South Carolina who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She draws on nine years of professional experience and emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own stories, building on individual strengths to move through difficult periods. Sophie frames the decision to seek help as a courageous step and positions herself as a collaborative supporter during that process.
Her approach blends practical, goal-oriented techniques with empathy and respect. Sophie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused strategies, and she incorporates trauma-focused methods when addressing histories of abuse or post-traumatic stress.
She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and maintains clinical practice in South Carolina, providing care in English. Sophie offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and encourages prospective clients to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to her availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own goals and strengths; this approach helps people feel heard and fosters self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress in day-to-day life. Trauma-focused therapy attends directly to the effects of traumatic experiences and works to reduce trauma-related symptoms through paced, evidence-informed techniques.Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Sophie works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors interventions so that therapy feels relevant and manageable. That collaborative discussion helps determine whether cognitive strategies, client-centered exploration, trauma-focused work, or a combination will best support progress.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options can make consistent care more accessible for people balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow for regular check-ins and skill practice between longer sessions.
