About Sophia
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 13 years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. Sophia Hoskins focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and depression. She uses methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, hypnotherapy, and Imago Relationship Therapy.
Sophia offers direct, practical sessions that aim to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. She works with individuals and couples to clarify goals and try specific changes between sessions. In relationship work she uses Imago and Emotionally-Focused techniques to map interaction cycles and strengthen connection. CBT is used to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Hypnotherapy is available as a tool for relaxation and shifting habits when appropriate.
Her background includes extensive work with military populations over nine years, providing care for service members facing trauma, deployment stress, reintegration difficulties, anger, and relationship strain. That experience informs how she approaches trauma and stress responses in civilian life. She has also spent the past five years working with athletes on peak performance and goal-focused mental skills training.
Sophia describes her role as a practical collaborator who helps people try different strategies and see what works. Sessions often include skill teaching, behavioral experiments, and focused conversations about values and goals. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans adjusted when needed.
She maintains a private practice on Oahu and offers services in English. Clients who prefer an international connection can arrange to work across time zones when feasible. To begin, the usual process is to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. It breaks big problems into smaller steps and uses practical exercises and between-session tasks to build new habits.EFT concentrates on emotional patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice interaction cycles, name the emotions under the behavior, and try new ways of reaching for connection or repair. This can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.
Finding the best approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods might fit. Sessions are collaborative and can combine techniques from different approaches as needed.
The original biography does not list specific remote formats. Please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone use methods like CBT homework, focused EFT conversations, or guided hypnotherapy without rearranging a full day.
