About Supriya

Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience who draws on evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and related concerns such as compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Background and approach

She blends practical coping skills with mindset work to support short-term goals, often focusing on strategies that can be learned and applied over a few months. Her practice emphasizes accessible tools for improving daily functioning and building confidence in self-care.

Working from a heart-centered stance, she creates an atmosphere that encourages honest expression of thoughts and feelings without judgment. Supriya incorporates approaches like mindfulness, acceptance and commitment techniques, and cognitive behavioral methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

She also brings experience addressing grief, identity-related concerns including LGBT matters, and complex relational or life-stage issues such as attachment wounds, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions. Based in Vermont, Supriya offers flexible online formats including video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging.

Her practice is oriented toward clients seeking focused, skills-oriented work to navigate life changes, improve coping, and foster clearer direction and greater emotional ease.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Supriya often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people learn practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve sleep and daily functioning.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will explore a person’s goals, preferences, and challenges together with them, adjusting methods as needed so the work aligns with what feels most useful and realistic for that individual.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from Vermont without traveling, support consistent check-ins, and allow practical tools and coping strategies to be practiced between sessions.
