About Charity

Charity Sophus is an LCSW who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and grief. She addresses anger, addiction concerns, trauma, and mood disorders such as bipolar. Charity also supports people coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions.

She favors plain, practical conversations. Sessions focus on skills people can use day to day. Charity blends evidence-based tools with a calm, steady approach so people leave with clear steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

Charity draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice acceptance, and learn new coping skills. Motivational Interviewing informs how she talks about change and goals.

Her work includes supporting caregivers and people living with chronic pain, illness, disability, or neurodevelopmental differences. She pays attention to how life stage and long-term stress affect mood and functioning, and helps people build routines that fit their daily life. Charity brings three years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical social worker in Texas.

She keeps language simple and meetings focused on concrete progress. The aim is steady improvement you can track over weeks and months.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while living by their values. It helps when worry or low mood keeps someone from doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or depression. CBT is useful for breaking unhelpful habits and building new routines. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. These practices often pair well with other skills-based work.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to concerns and goals, then suggest methods that fit the person and situation. Plans can shift over time as needs change, and sessions include regular check-ins to see what is working.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limits, and maintain continuity during life changes. Therapists use these formats to teach skills, coach through practice exercises, and track progress over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
