About Sophia
Sophia Hoskins is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii with 13 years of practice. She addresses common life stresses and relationship struggles in clear, straightforward ways. Parents often find her practical focus helpful when parenting feels overwhelming.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Hypnotherapy and Existential Therapy are also tools she offers when they fit a person's goals. Imago Relationship Therapy and solution-focused ideas show up in sessions that center on improving connection and solving immediate problems.
Her background includes long experience in a private practice on Oahu where she has worked with individuals, couples, families and groups around anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship strain, parenting, grief, addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and trauma. That variety means she is used to shifting methods to match what a client needs most in the moment.
Sophia also brings an interest in peak performance developed through years of outdoor sports and riding. In recent years she has supported athletes with mental and physical performance goals using focused strategies and practical skills.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Many of the therapist's methods aim to change how people think and connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries simple experiments to change behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional bond in close relationships and helps partners or individuals notice and shift interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict. Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, values, and choices when facing loss or major life changes.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick or combine approaches based on a client's goals, preferences, and current needs. Sessions may start with practical steps and shift to deeper emotional work as trust grows.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, or offering conversation without being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and relational work to an online rhythm so therapy stays useful and actionable.
