Supriya Shanti

Supriya Shanti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of professional experience. She is based in Vermont and lists stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and life purpose among her core concerns. She also notes work with the LGBTQIA+ community and short-term therapy focused on coping skills and mindset strategies.

She offers short-term therapy generally framed as three to six months of focused work. In sessions she helps people build concrete coping tools for stress and anxiety. She also teaches practical strategies to improve sleep and daily functioning. The emphasis is on skills people can use outside of sessions.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, and narrative methods. That means talking through patterns, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavioral experiments. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.

She describes a heart-centered way of working that invites honest conversation about feelings and thoughts. Sessions include coaching elements to build confidence and clearer habits. People who feel stuck after a life change or who are rethinking purpose can explore practical next steps.

Language offered is English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed steps toward what matters. Online ACT work often includes exercises to identify values and small actions to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns. In online CBT this can mean tracking thoughts, trying behavioral tasks, and reviewing progress together. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these exercises can be guided during a session and practiced afterward.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as different strategies are tested and adjusted based on what helps most.

The therapist's exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their regular routines. Therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people try experiments, track sleep and stress patterns, and apply new coping skills between sessions.
