Supriya Shanti, LCSW, LICSW

Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions. She brings 15 years of experience and centers sessions on developing coping skills and clearer thinking. Supriya aims to make the first step feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Her work emphasizes short-term goals when that fits a person’s needs, often focusing on three to six months of regular sessions. In those months she helps people learn techniques for emotion regulation, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build routines that support better sleep and daily functioning. She also offers coaching-style support for setting goals and tracking progress.

Supriya has a particular focus on concerns commonly experienced by LGBTQ people, along with grief, self-esteem issues, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses areas such as abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and life purpose. Sessions cover practical steps as well as understanding how past experiences shape current patterns.

Her approach combines cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance and mindfulness practices and narrative work. That mix aims to give people clear tools plus ways to notice what matters most to them. Supriya works collaboratively, helping each person pick strategies that fit their daily life.

Sessions are available from Vermont and are offered in English. She uses phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging to connect, and the subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online

Supriya commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT techniques are practical and can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present, which can help with life transitions and ongoing stress.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and coping. These approaches are explained in plain terms and combined with mindfulness and narrative techniques when useful. Finding the right mix is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences.

Online therapy is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins, need flexible timing, or want ongoing brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
