About Sophia
Sophia Hoskins is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Hawaii with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, parenting, trauma and related concerns. Sessions address everyday struggles like snapping at partners, work frustration, grief, and problems sleeping.
She treats relationship problems with approaches that focus on emotions and patterns between people. She also uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Her background includes more than nine years providing care for military service members dealing with trauma, deployment, reintegration, anger, and relationship strain.
Sophia has developed an interest in peak performance through outdoor sports such as surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and working with horses. In recent years she has worked with athletes on the mental side of performance and goal-focused training. That experience informs her practical, goal-oriented work with clients who want measurable change.
In sessions she combines emotion-focused work with solution-focused and cognitive methods. She may also draw on existential questions about meaning and on hypnotherapy when appropriate. She uses clinical tools to help people regain control of reactions, rebuild trust in relationships, and improve daily functioning.
People meet her to reduce irritability, manage bursts of anger, improve closeness with partners, or recover from trauma. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when they schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often include short exercises to practice between meetings and concrete plans for managing anger or anxiety.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and how those emotions shape interactions. In remote sessions EFT techniques can be used to slow down charged moments and practice new ways of expressing needs in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to different methods. Together you decide whether to emphasize CBT, EFT, existential questions, hypnotherapy, or a mix that fits your goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or a brief break, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people use remote sessions to practice coping skills in everyday settings and to bring real-life examples into therapy without rearranging their schedule.
