About Charity

Charity Sophus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She supports adults managing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related life changes.

She focuses on practical skills for emotional regulation and day-to-day coping. Sessions emphasize learning concrete tools to reduce snapping at loved ones, handling workplace frustration, and managing built-up resentment. Charity helps people break problems into manageable steps and try small changes between meetings.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. That means time spent noticing patterns, testing new behaviors, and developing flexible responses to difficult moments. Therapy often includes short exercises and behavioral experiments to practice outside sessions.

Charity has worked with young adults, caregivers, and people managing chronic health issues, mood disorders, and neurodevelopmental differences. She assists with issues that can make anger worse, such as burnout, unresolved grief, and the stress of caregiving.

In the first few sessions she typically clarifies the most pressing problems, sets practical goals, and identifies a few concrete skills to try right away. Follow-up sessions review what worked, adjust strategies, and add new techniques to support steady progress.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for ongoing problems like anger that link to stress, grief, or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce reactive responses. It is useful for learning concrete strategies to interrupt snapping or rumination. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing habits to lower reactivity and increase awareness of rising anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Charity works with clients to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. Sessions include collaboration on which skills to try and regular review of what helps most.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break or a busy caregiver schedule. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let people focus on skills without needing extra travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to work in remote sessions and help clients practice between meetings.
