About Sophia
Sophia Hoskins is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii. She brings 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Sophia speaks English and offers sessions that fit different schedules and lifestyles.
Sophia favors clear, goal-focused work. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and improve connection. She also draws on Existential Therapy and hypnotherapy when those methods match a person’s goals.
How Sophia works
Clients can expect practical tools and steady support. Sessions include talking through problems, trying small behavior changes, and developing ways to cope with strong emotions. Sophia also assists with grief, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, and trauma and abuse.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Hawaii and experience working with service members on bases both overseas and in the United States. That experience informed her work with trauma, deployment transitions, reintegration issues, anger, and relationship conflict. Outside of clinical work Sophia spends time with horses and enjoys surfing, snowboarding, and mountain biking.
She has worked recently with athletes on peak performance and goal-oriented mental skills. Her practice aims to help people clarify goals and take steady steps toward them.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches applied to online care
Sophia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes homework like tracking thoughts, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift emotional responses that affect relationships. EFT focuses on observing feelings, communicating needs more clearly, and creating safer emotional moments in close connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophia will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit a person’s situation, and then adapt the plan collaboratively as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deep conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins, or want support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, travel, or busy family routines and help maintain continuity while pursuing therapy goals.
