Supriya Shanti, LCSW, LICSW

Supriya Shanti brings more than 15 years of professional experience to her work, offering a compassionate, heart-centered approach to short-term therapy. She is licensed in Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine and holds LCSW and LICSW credentials - LCSW means Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LICSW means Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.

Supriya currently accepts clients who seek focused, short-term support lasting three to six months, with an emphasis on practical coping skills and mindset strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and sleep difficulties. She has particular experience working with people from the LGBTQIA+ community and creates a welcoming space for people to explore what matters most to them.

Her practice centers on collaboration and skill-building, helping clients learn tools that increase confidence in their ability to care for themselves and navigate life transitions. Supriya emphasizes respect, openness, and nonjudgmental listening as clients take the first steps toward feeling more resilient and content. She is available to support each person through that process every step of the way.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Supriya draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and then take actions that align with their values - it is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early connection patterns, helping clients understand how past relationships influence current emotions and behaviors and supporting healthier ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and gently testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Supriya works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts plans as progress unfolds so clients feel involved in selecting what helps most.

Online therapy with Supriya is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to continue care during life transitions or busy periods.
