Supriya Shanti, LCSW, LICSW

Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on practical, skills-based therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions. She emphasizes short-term work focused on coping tools and mindset shifts to improve daily functioning and overall well-being. Supriya brings 15 years of experience and a direct, compassionate manner to each session.

Her approach centers on helping people build concrete skills they can use right away. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address anxious thinking and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy are woven in to help people notice thoughts without being overwhelmed and to reframe difficult life stories.

Supriya also focuses on concerns that often accompany later life and caregiving, including aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and caregiver stress. She helps people facing midlife changes, grief, and the practical sides of caregiving plan next steps and cope with emotional strain.

She works with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and people navigating attachment challenges, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin issues. Sessions include goal-setting, skills practice, and short-term strategies to regain stability and confidence.

Supriya holds licenses as an LCSW and LICSW in the New Hampshire and Vermont regions and practices from Vermont. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on what matters most and take action toward those values even when uncomfortable thoughts appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people test and change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with sleep problems and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for people struggling with abandonment, codependency, or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences. Sessions start by identifying what a person wants to change and then try techniques for a few weeks to see what feels most helpful.

Confirm current session formats before booking to learn which online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for virtual meetings so progress continues between sessions.
