About Supriya
Supriya Shanti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of experience in mental health care. She practices in Vermont and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life changes. The profile lists support for the LGBTQIA+ community and a focus on life purpose among other concerns.
She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and physical stress. Sessions often focus on practical coping skills, mindset shifts, and short-term strategies that can be tried between meetings. That emphasis makes her suited to people looking for focused work over a few months.
Her background includes long-standing practice across New England and a mix of clinical and coaching-style work. In the room she helps people name patterns that keep them stuck, test small changes, and build straightforward routines for sleep and daily stress. She also works with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and attachment issues.
People bring many kinds of life transitions to her practice - midlife questioning, caregiving strain, or wondering what matters next after a change. She discusses communication problems, family of origin issues, abandonment fears, and feelings of guilt or shame in clear, plain language. The focus is on practical steps the person can try right away.
For someone feeling stuck, she offers structured short-term work aimed at skill building and clearer decision-making. To begin, readers are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site's matching flow to schedule a first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-guided action. It helps when anxiety or worry keeps someone from doing what matters, by teaching simple skills to shift attention and try meaningful steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It teaches practical techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and building routines that improve sleep and lower stress.
Mindfulness-based work trains present-moment attention and relaxing habits. Those practices can reduce reactivity, support sleep routines, and help with compassion fatigue and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and what feels doable. Sessions can mix ACT, CBT, and mindfulness so the plan adapts as progress is made.
