Supriya Shanti, LCSW, LICSW

Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on 15 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions. She emphasizes practical coping skills and mindset strategies that aim to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Supriya is listed as LCSW and LICSW and works with people who identify as LGBT among other concerns. She encourages a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what feels hard and try new approaches.

Supriya often structures work into short-term plans when the goal is skill-building over a few months. She focuses on tools people can use between sessions, like routines that support better sleep, ways to lower stress during busy days, and strategies to manage anxiety symptoms. Conversation includes noticing patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps.

Her approach draws from acceptance-based and cognitive methods alongside mindfulness and narrative techniques. That means attention to present-moment awareness, values-based choices, and changing unhelpful thought patterns while also exploring personal stories that shape current struggles. Attachment ideas inform how relationships and early experiences affect trust and connection.

Additional areas Supriya addresses include grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, caregiving stress, midlife concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. She supports people facing aging, end-of-life planning, and questions about life purpose. Practical steps are prioritized so progress is clear and measurable.

Supriya practices in Vermont and holds New Hampshire LCSW and Vermont LICSW credentials. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing small actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life-direction questions by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests small, concrete changes to reduce symptoms like insomnia or worry. It is often used to build practical skills and routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape trust and current connections, useful for people who struggle with loneliness, relationship worries, or patterns that keep repeating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT with CBT techniques or weaving in narrative work to reframe important life stories.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, simplify travel, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and pace so tools are usable between meetings and progress matches real-life needs.
