About Supriya
Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience who focuses on practical skills for stress and anxiety. She emphasizes short-term work aimed at building coping tools, improving sleep habits, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. Supriya names support for the LGBTQIA+ community among her areas of focus and offers a warm, nonjudgmental style.
Her approach is centered on helping people take small, usable steps toward feeling steadier day to day. She draws on methods that teach new ways to respond to anxiety and to notice patterns that keep problems stuck. Sessions include teaching concrete strategies, practicing them together, and adapting tools to the client's life.
Supriya combines behavioral techniques with attention to relationships and life story. That means working on thoughts and habits while also looking at how attachment and past experiences shape current responses. She also uses mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep routines.
Clients can expect a focus on short-term goals such as managing panic, reducing nighttime wakefulness, or strengthening coping during life transitions. The work often includes skill practice between meetings and checking what does or does not fit the client’s schedule.
She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and sees people in Vermont. The tone in sessions is practical and compassionate, with attention to both immediate relief and longer-term coping skills.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and coping with life transitions by teaching commitment to small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anxiety active; it uses practical exercises and homework to reduce panic and improve sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and can help with attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems by bringing awareness to relational patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That partnership means trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together as progress and circumstances change.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and sleep, which can help with sleep routines and everyday coping. Licensed professionals can discuss which format will best match the client's needs and availability.
