About Sophia

Sophia Hoskins is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii who centers her work on strong emotional connection and practical problem solving. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is direct and warm, aimed at helping clients feel understood while making steady progress.

Sophia has been a therapist since 2008 and brings 13 years of experience in community and independent practice settings.

Background and approach

She has worked with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, anger, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career-related stress. She also supports those facing intimacy issues and self-esteem struggles. Earlier in her career she spent many years providing care for military service members both overseas and in the United States.

That work included addressing trauma, deployment and reintegration challenges, anger, and relationship disruptions. These experiences shaped her practical, results-oriented approach. Outside the therapy room Sophia is active with horses, snowboarding, mountain biking, and surfing, and she has developed a special interest in peak performance.

In recent years she has worked with athletes on improving mental focus and performance toward concrete goals. In sessions she blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral and solution-oriented tools, choosing methods that match each person's needs and goals. She offers video, phone, chat, and messaging formats for therapy to make care flexible for people in Hawaii and beyond.

Online support

How emotion-focused and cognitive approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people map and name their core emotions and the ways they get stuck in painful patterns. It can be useful for easing relationship strain and strengthening emotional connection by helping clients notice and change harmful interaction cycles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood symptoms so people can see tangible changes in daily life.

Existential therapy looks at values, meaning, and life choices to help people facing big transitions, career questions, or feelings of emptiness. It encourages reflection and clarifying what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophia will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may combine emotional exploration, skill building, and goal-focused planning to meet changing needs over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or family routines while still working with licensed professionals.
