About Charity

Charity Sophus is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and other mood-related concerns.

Background and approach

She works from a strengths-based perspective to support clients facing life transitions, caregiving burdens, chronic health challenges, and the emotional impacts of aging and neurodevelopmental differences. Charity emphasizes practical coping strategies that address both immediate distress and long-term resilience.

Her style blends compassion with structured therapeutic tools, tailoring each plan to the individual's needs and rhythms. Charity draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered practices, and mindfulness techniques to help clients build skills for emotional regulation and behavioral change.

With three years of clinical experience as an LCSW licensed in Texas, she offers focused, collaborative care aimed at fostering clearer thinking, improved coping, and renewed purpose. Charity aims to create an affirming environment where clients can explore challenges, strengthen support systems, and practice new strategies between sessions.

Her approach emphasizes practical steps and compassionate listening to help people move toward healthier patterns and greater daily functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Charity commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression, while ACT emphasizes values-driven action and mindful acceptance of difficult emotions to increase psychological flexibility.

She also integrates client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to keep care grounded in each person's experience. Selecting the right blend of approaches is presented as a collaborative process; the therapist works with clients to explore what methods feel most useful and adjusts the plan based on goals, tolerance for different strategies, and real-world feedback from sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or mobility and caregiving demands. These options allow clients to access regular support, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not convenient.
