About Shoshanna
Shoshanna Joss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. She combines practical strategies with mindfulness tools to support day-to-day coping. Her style is collaborative and focused on the goals each person brings to therapy.
She draws on six years of clinical experience and a longer history in social work to address grief, depression, relationship problems, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Sessions often include clear steps for managing symptoms, communication skills, and short exercises to practice between meetings. Mindfulness and meditation are offered as simple tools for calming the body and mind. Shoshanna also works with career concerns, parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, and life transitions such as caregiving or divorce.
She pays attention to how mood, sleep, and daily routines affect functioning and helps people build small, achievable changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify thought patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. For those dealing with more complex histories, trauma-focused work is available to gently address painful memories and their impact on current life.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change, providing a space to weigh options and move forward at a manageable pace. Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. Shoshanna offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, follows the client’s lead, and shapes sessions around what matters most to the individual. This approach helps people feel heard and involved in planning steps forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions often include worksheets, brief between-session exercises, and real-time practice of coping strategies for anxiety, depression, or stress-related problems.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to test techniques and shift focus when needed.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions, get brief coaching, or track progress without scheduling a full appointment. These options provide flexibility so people can fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving routines.
