About Supriya

Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice experience. She focuses on helping people build practical coping skills for stress, anxiety, sleep, and life changes. Her work often centers on mindset strategies and short-term goals. She is based in Vermont and offers therapy in English.

Supriya leans on approaches that help people notice what matters to them and take small, steady steps toward it. She uses strategies from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and narrative techniques to address day-to-day struggles. Sessions commonly focus on sleep habits, anxiety management, and coping skills to handle change.

Her style is warm and direct. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. Practical exercises, brief skill building, and clear goal-setting are typical features of her sessions.

Supriya has experience supporting people dealing with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, and challenges around identity, including LGBT concerns. She also helps with self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, caregiver stress, and relationship patterns rooted in family of origin issues. Many clients come for short-term work to gain tools and relief.

To begin, Supriya asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small committed steps toward them even when worry or sleep problems are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety and improving sleep routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce rumination and ease stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative process guides which techniques get used and how sessions are structured.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to remote formats, making it possible to practice new habits between sessions and apply tools in day-to-day life.
