About Supriya
Supriya Shanti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of practice experience, based in Vermont. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. She also lists work with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBTQ concerns among her focus areas.
Supriya offers short-term work aimed at building coping skills and mindset strategies. That often looks like setting small, practical goals and using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to manage worry and improve sleep. Sessions are straightforward and skills-focused when people want tools they can try between meetings.
In longer conversations she draws on attachment-based ideas and narrative approaches. That helps people notice how family of origin patterns and early relationship roles still influence current behavior. She uses this to name patterns, not to assign blame, and to help people make different choices in relationships and daily life.
Her style emphasizes clear skill teaching alongside reflective work about past relationships and current habits. People who prefer concrete steps and occasional deeper reflection may find that combination useful. The profile notes work with caregiver stress, blended family issues, abandonment concerns, codependency, dissociation, and end-of-life or hospice related worries.
Sessions are organized to focus on present concerns while also looking at longer-standing patterns when helpful. The first step is typically a short assessment, then agreement on goals and a plan for either brief skills-focused work or more open-ended exploration.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in those directions. ACT often focuses on accepting uncomfortable thoughts while committing to valued steps, which can help with anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. It can be useful when family of origin roles or attachment worries keep showing up in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete skills. CBT techniques aim to reduce worry and improve sleep through structured practice and behavior changes.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. Supriya will collaborate with each person to decide whether short-term, skills-focused sessions or more exploratory work will better match their goals. That decision is guided by the client's needs, preferences, and the problems they want to address.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools like mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between sessions to practice skills in everyday life.
