About Sunya

Sunya Kapidya is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a collaborative, person-focused approach to help people facing life stressors. She practices with practical methods that aim to make day-to-day coping easier. Sunya speaks English and Hindi and works from Georgia with eight years of clinical experience.

Her background includes work in program development, inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, and hospice care. That variety shaped her ability to support people through grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and addiction. She has worked with people from many different backgrounds and across a wide range of diagnoses.

In sessions Sunya helps people notice what matters most to them and take small, doable steps toward those goals. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and build practical skills. Attachment-based and client-centered perspectives guide how she attends to relationships and emotional needs.

Expect straightforward conversation that focuses on what you want to change. She will listen, reflect, and offer tools you can use between sessions. Her aim is to help people manage life transitions, improve relationships, and reduce overwhelm so they can move toward a more satisfying daily life.

Sunya values working with caregivers, people facing chronic medical issues, and those navigating identity and intimacy concerns. She encourages anyone curious about starting therapy to follow the simple matching and scheduling steps to begin the process.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for stress, life changes, anxiety, and chronic health challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, preferences, and current challenges. That may mean combining elements of ACT and CBT with attachment-focused listening to address relationship patterns and caregiver concerns.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, meeting remotely lets them join sessions during a break at work or from a quieter place without needing extra travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice for remote appointments so clients keep progressing between meetings.
