Sophie Paquette, LCSW, CSW

Sophie Paquette is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions. She frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on the person's strengths. Sophie emphasizes practical steps and steady support as people work toward feeling better. She is licensed in South Carolina and brings nine years of experience to her practice.

Sophie listens first and then helps people set clear, manageable goals. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and to build different habits. When trauma or past abuse is involved, she uses trauma-focused strategies that prioritize safety and pacing.

Sophie also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions center on the person's experience and on finding small, realistic changes that make daily life easier. She often helps people break big problems into steps they can actually do.

People can expect a collaborative pace, regular check-ins on goals, and adjustments as needed. Sophie invites anyone ready to try talking things through to start with simple, real-world steps toward better coping and clearer choices.

How Sophie’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique experience. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them identify what matters most in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. The plan is collaborative - methods are adjusted over time to fit how the client responds and what they need to accomplish.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking so you know what is offered. The overall goal is to help people practice skills and test changes in everyday life while keeping scheduling and logistics manageable.
