About Supriya
Supriya Shanti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of experience. She works with people who want help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and related concerns such as coping with life changes and grief. She also provides support for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and for those who want short-term work on coping skills and mindset strategies.
She emphasizes practical tools and skills people can use between sessions. That can include breathing and mindfulness practices, strategies to manage anxious thoughts, and steps to improve sleep routines. Supriya aims to help people notice patterns that get in the way and try small experiments to see what helps.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and take workable steps, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles. She also uses Attachment-Based and Narrative therapy ideas when exploring relationships and the stories people tell about themselves.
Sessions are focused and time-limited when that fits the client's goals, often three to six months for skills-focused work. Supriya works in Vermont and brings fifteen years of clinical experience to each case. She supports people dealing with trauma, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and many of the life stressors listed in her areas of focus.
People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The initial phase typically clarifies what to prioritize and which practical tools to introduce first.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve sleep. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention practices to calm the body and notice stressful patterns without getting swept up in them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to use. That decision can change as you try tools and notice what helps most in everyday life.
The practical benefit of online work is that it can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Many people find it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions when therapy fits into their normal routine.
