About Sophia

Sophia Hoskins is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and a calm, direct approach to helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She often uses Existential therapy to help people make sense of life choices and find meaning during hard times.

Sophia also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address patterns of thinking and to improve emotional connection in relationships.

Background and approach

She adds hypnotherapy and Imago relationship work when those methods fit a person’s goals. Sophia’s background includes long-term work with military service members, focusing on trauma, deployment and reintegration challenges, anger, and relationship strain. That experience shaped her skill at managing intense stress and practical transitions.

More recently she has worked with athletes on peak performance and goal-focused mental skills. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and repair emotional bonds with partners when needed.

Parents can expect straightforward guidance around parenting stress and sleep or behavior concerns. Her practice blends practical tools with deeper reflection about values and purpose. Clients leave with concrete steps to try between sessions and clearer thinking about next moves.

Sophia aims to help people feel more capable and more in control of their choices.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential therapy helps people examine life choices, meaning, and personal values so they can make clearer decisions during stressful times. It’s useful when someone feels stuck, confused about direction, or unsettled by big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to build stronger connection and repair hurt.

Sophia treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that match those aims, and adjust the plan when something isn’t helping. The process is collaborative and rooted in what the client wants to change or achieve.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and relationship work. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for quick updates, brief coaching, or when written reflection fits someone’s style. These options let people fit therapy around work, family, and travel while working with a licensed professional.
