Sophie Paquette

Sophie Paquette is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Sophie emphasizes clients' strengths and works alongside them as they make changes.

With nine years of professional experience, Sophie draws on approaches that focus on what a person needs in the moment. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide sessions. That means Sophie pays attention to a person's story, listens without judgment, and introduces tools that can reduce painful thoughts and reactions.

Sophie believes small steps add up. Sessions may involve setting short-term goals, practicing new ways of responding, and trying out coping skills between meetings. She keeps language plain and aims to make techniques easy to practice in daily life.

Her work includes concerns such as addictions, relationship and family stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with sexual assault and abuse, post-traumatic stress, panic, body image and women's issues.

People who choose Sophie can expect a collaborative approach. She treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them build on existing strengths to meet their goals.

How Sophie blends trauma-aware and goal-focused methods online

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on recognizing how past harm affects current feelings and reactions. It helps people name what happened, manage intense emotions, and practice responses that feel safer over time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect; the therapist follows the client's lead and supports what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods collaboratively. That means trying tools, checking how they felt, and adjusting the plan together so it fits the person's life and needs.

Confirm the session formats Sophie currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, or let someone work without being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals can use these options to bring skills and planning into everyday routines.
