About Supriya Shanti

Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience who draws on a compassionate, heart-centered style to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials - licensed clinical social worker designations that reflect advanced training and clinical experience - and has worked across multiple New England states. Supriya focuses on short-term therapy of three to six months for clients seeking practical coping skills and mindset strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She has a special emphasis on supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community and works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where emotions and thoughts can be explored honestly. Her approach blends evidence-informed tools with compassionate listening, helping clients learn techniques they can use between sessions while also addressing patterns that contribute to long-term difficulties. Taking that first step toward new skills, greater self-care, and a more satisfying life can feel daunting; Supriya partners with each person to build confidence, identify achievable goals, and support progress at a manageable pace.

Whether someone is coping with grief, trauma, relationship concerns, or shifting life roles, she aims to offer concrete strategies alongside empathic support so clients leave sessions feeling understood and better equipped to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on practical steps tied to what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence present-day connections and emotional responses; it can be helpful for relationship challenges, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues by fostering greater awareness and new interaction patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Supriya works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors interventions so clients can try strategies that fit their life and pace. This collaborative process helps shape a focused plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel.
