About Zhanna

Zhanna Bukshan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who draws on five years of practice to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She frames care around each person's story, listening for patterns such as attachment issues, communication difficulties, and control dynamics that shape daily life. Zhanna also addresses mood disorders, panic, trauma, substance use, caregiver stress, and the emotional work that follows divorce or separation.

Her therapeutic focus includes cultivating self-compassion, strengthening communication skills, and easing feelings of isolation. Clients seeking support around life purpose, forgiveness, midlife transitions, or dependent personality traits will find emphasis on practical coping strategies alongside explorations of meaning and values.

Zhanna offers therapy in English and Russian and practices in Texas as TX LCSW 104646, combining professional training with a compassionate, nonjudgmental style that aims to match treatment to each person's pace and priorities.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Zhanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she employs is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Another emphasis is on interpersonal and attachment-informed work, exploring how relationship patterns and communication habits affect emotions and connection, useful for relationship struggles and loneliness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Zhanna partners with clients to assess concerns, goals, and preferences, then tailors strategies so therapy feels relevant and manageable. She balances skill-building with exploration of values and life purpose to support sustained progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to stay consistent with sessions while accessing a licensed professional from wherever the client is during working hours. The variety of options supports ongoing momentum and lets clients choose the communication method that works best for them.
