About Sophia
Sophia Hoskins uses relationship-focused therapy and practical techniques to help people feel more grounded. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions and works from Hawaii.
Background and approach
Sophia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which she uses to guide conversations about relationships and life stressors. She focuses on common problems like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, and struggles with sleep and anger.
Sophia also helps people with intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, and self-esteem. Career and parenting issues are part of her day-to-day work as well.
Her sessions blend short-term tools and deeper emotional work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete steps to change thinking and behavior.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy help people understand and improve their close relationships. Sophia has also worked with peak performance and athletes, using skills to support specific goals.
Over time she has added hypnotherapy and existential approaches to expand how she helps clients make meaning and change habits. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so therapy can fit into busy schedules.
International clients who speak English may also connect. To begin, a Start Therapy button, a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling complete the intake process.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work
Sophia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits; this approach suits problems like anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger by offering specific steps to try between sessions. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners and individuals identify attachment needs and shift how they respond to one another, which can ease relationship and intimacy-related struggles. Existential therapy appears in her work as well, inviting people to talk about meaning, values, and life transitions when facing grief or big decisions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether sessions focus more on skills, relationship patterns, meaning-making, or a mix of methods.r>
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, tracking progress, or keeping momentum between longer meetings. These options help therapy fit busy schedules and different communication styles.
