Sophie Paquette, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in South Carolina

About Sophie

Sophie Paquette is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes a strengths-based view and encourages clients to build on what already works in their lives.

Sophie presents herself as a steady, nonjudgmental guide for people taking the first steps toward change. She uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on real situations and concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Sophie listens closely and adapts her approach to each person’s needs instead of following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her toolbox includes Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective and goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts, Solution-Focused Therapy for setting short-term goals, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are central to the struggle. These methods are used to address things like panic, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.

Sophie holds licensure as an LCSW and a CSW and has nine years of professional experience. She practices from South Carolina and offers sessions in English. Her background includes work with issues such as adoption and foster care, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, first responder issues, and young adult concerns.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Sophie helps clients identify practical steps, small goals, and new ways to cope so they can notice progress over time.

How Sophie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's perspective and priorities. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, follows the client’s lead, and helps them set goals that matter to them. It is useful when someone needs validation and a plan that fits their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with more useful ways of thinking. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and problems with coping day to day.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophie will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made so work in sessions stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face while phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family lives and to keep consistent momentum between appointments.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
