Sophie Paquette is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Sophie writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.

With nine years of experience she focuses on practical tools that fit into daily life. Sophie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused approaches to tailor sessions to what a person needs right now. Sessions often include straightforward strategies for coping, shifting thoughts, and practicing new behaviors.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings curiosity rather than judgment to conversations. Sophie helps people identify strengths, set small goals, and try simple experiments between sessions. She keeps plans concrete and checks progress together.

Sophie holds LCSW and CSW credentials and is licensed in Colorado and Wisconsin while practicing in South Carolina. Her background includes supporting people through sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, first responder issues, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns around adoption and foster care, body image, and forgiveness.

Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model is used for scheduling and can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How Sophie Uses CBT and Trauma-Focused Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them with small experiments, and practicing different behaviors to ease anxiety or depression.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on safety, pacing, and processing distressing memories in ways that feel manageable. It often combines grounding skills, emotion regulation, and gradual work on traumatic events so people can regain a sense of control and reduce symptoms like panic or intrusive memories.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. Sophie will listen to goals and try methods that match your needs. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques as progress is made or new concerns appear.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people fit support into a busy day and follow up with brief reflections between longer sessions. These options help people access consistent care while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
