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 works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strain. Sophie also focuses on issues such as adoption and foster care, body image, control issues, domestic violence, first responder stress, and recovery after sexual assault.
Sophie frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She helps people name what is getting in the way and build on strengths already present. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with practical steps a person can try between meetings. Sophie talks through short-term goals such as reducing flare-ups of anger, managing panic, or improving daily motivation.
She uses a mix of familiar methods that aim to change unhelpful thoughts and habits while also addressing trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, achievable next steps when progress feels stalled. Trauma-Focused approaches are used when past events are affecting day-to-day life.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances problem solving with careful attention to distressing experiences. Sophie checks in on what is working and adjusts the plan as needed. Her practice emphasizes practical skills people can use in work, home, and relationship settings.
People interested in beginning work with her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How sessions work
How Sophie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. It helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings, identify strengths, and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active, and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps that move a person toward clearer goals and fewer reactive moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities appear, with regular check-ins to see what helps most.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone avoid travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require constant video, which can suit lower-energy days. Discussing practical needs up front helps shape sessions that match everyday life.
