About Supriya
Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She offers practical, skill-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, and sleep problems. Her approach centers on building coping tools and strengthening day-to-day routines.
She uses straightforward methods to support people through life changes, grief, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that make a difference in daily life.
Background and approach
Supriya helps clients learn ways to interrupt worry, improve sleep habits, and face transitions with more confidence. Supriya blends mindfulness, acceptance-based work, and cognitive strategies to address distressing thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on attachment and narrative ideas to help people understand the stories they tell themselves and how those stories shape relationships and self-worth.
Therapy aims to clarify values and build actions that align with them. Clients who are coping with trauma, loss, caregiver stress, or burnout find practical pacing and tools in her work. She supports people navigating loneliness, codependency, communication struggles, and midlife questions.
The focus is on what helps now while also opening the door to longer-term change. Sessions are offered from Vermont and conducted in English. New people start by answering a short questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits their life.
Supriya frames therapy as a collaborative process where small changes add up to real relief.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer goals for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep issues, and coping skills training. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and self-view and can help with relationship patterns and trust issues. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions are shaped together so techniques are practical and relevant to a person’s life. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in, help with skill practice between sessions, and suit people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling easier and let people practice tools in the places they live and work.Questions people ask
