About Disha
Disha Benn-Peay is a licensed independent social worker-clinical practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina. She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people who are facing low mood, relationship strain, and questions about self-worth. Her style aims to be respectful, direct, and compassionate so clients feel heard during hard conversations.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create a clear plan for each person. Sessions are shaped around the concerns you bring, with practical steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Disha emphasizes concrete tools for coping with worry, improving confidence, and managing life changes. Many clients bring issues like caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, control struggles, and the search for meaning. She also addresses forgiveness, self-love, and women’s issues when those topics come up in sessions.
The focus is on realistic strategies that fit everyday life. With over 22 years of professional experience, Disha adapts conversations to each person’s needs. She aims to balance listening with offering straightforward techniques and suggestions.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People typically find the first steps are identifying specific goals and small changes to try. Disha supports that work with regular check-ins and adjustments to the plan as needed.
Her approach is practical, patient, and collaborative.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many therapists who focus on anxiety and stress use evidence-based techniques that teach practical skills. Cognitive approaches help identify unhelpful thought patterns and then test new, more balanced ways of thinking; they are useful for worry and low mood. Behavioral strategies focus on changing routines and building small habits that reduce avoidance and increase confidence, which can help with anxiety and motivation.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about what feels most relevant and try methods that fit your goals and daily life. Together you can adjust the plan over time until it feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for a full conversation and visual connection. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow short, flexible check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
