About Sophia
Sophia Hoskins is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationships, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and adults find better balance and rest.
She uses a mix of methods that include cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, existential therapy, hypnotherapy, and Imago relationship work. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, practicing new ways of relating, and setting small goals that can be tried between appointments. Sophia also brings solution-focused strategies to keep work concrete and goal oriented.
With 13 years of clinical experience, she has worked across a range of concerns from grief and addiction to bipolar and depression. She has also spent time supporting people with anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and career stress. That variety has shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person's situation.
Alongside clinical work, Sophia has a background in outdoor and performance activities such as surfing and mountain biking. That background informs her interest in peak performance and in practical skills people can use to improve sleep, focus, and day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-focused therapy helps people improve how they connect with partners and loved ones by identifying patterns of interaction and practicing new responses. It can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, and building stronger bonds.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes small experiments and practice tasks to reduce anxiety, manage sleep problems, and address depression symptoms.
Sophia approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The work is paced to match what a person can try between sessions.
