About Charity
Charity Sophus is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, and the long haul of caregiving. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Charity offers straightforward help for parenting concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the effects of chronic illness or disability.
She uses a person-centered style that emphasizes listening first and asking practical questions. Sessions focus on goals the person brings, and on small steps that build momentum. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit to help people find their own reasons to change.
Charity also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices appear when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are priorities. The work tends to be hands-on, with skills, homework, and short practical experiments between meetings.
She practices across Texas and keeps language simple and direct. Charity explains techniques in everyday terms and checks in often about what is helpful. People can expect a steady focus on what matters to them and a plan they can try week to week.
Her approach aims to strengthen coping skills and increase everyday functioning. Charity brings three years of clinical experience as an LCSW and centers the person’s priorities in each session.

Approaches that guide online work
Charity often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build commitment to practical steps. This approach emphasizes reflective listening and small, self-directed goals that can reduce resistance and increase follow-through.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and accept difficult thoughts while taking meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy appears when the focus is on spotting thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Charity will discuss what fits best with a person's goals, preferences, and life demands, and then try approaches that match those needs. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins about how strategies are working.
The practical benefits of online therapy can help people fit sessions into busy lives. Confirm session formats before booking to know what is possible. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations, use short check-ins on a tight day, or focus on skills practice between meetings without extra travel. -
