About Supriya
Supriya Shanti is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a somatic-informed approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and has over 15 years of clinical experience. Her style is warm and heart-centered, and she focuses on practical tools that can be used between sessions.
She often pairs body-focused awareness with acceptance-based and cognitive strategies to reduce overwhelm. That means noticing how the body reacts to stress and learning small, concrete skills to shift those responses.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize short-term coping skills when that is the chosen goal. Supriya works with many concerns including grief, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and issues related to caregiving and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around relationship patterns such as attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems.
Clients may address life purpose, midlife changes, or feelings of isolation in therapy. Her practice includes coaching-style work as well as therapy, with attention to sleep hygiene, ADHD-related challenges, and managing guilt or shame. She has experience supporting people facing end-of-life and hospice related stress as well as blended family and family-of-origin issues.
Sessions are offered from Vermont and are delivered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The intake process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.
How somatic and acceptance approaches work online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how stress shows up in the body and learn small physical practices to ease tension and dysregulation. This can be useful for anxiety, sleep trouble, and trauma-related symptoms by grounding attention in bodily experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions while learning to hold difficult thoughts without letting them drive behavior. It is helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change unhelpful relational responses through new ways of relating and greater emotional awareness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which combination of somatic practices, ACT skills, or attachment-focused work to try and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. These formats make it possible to practice skills between sessions and to connect from home or while traveling. The range of session types helps people keep continuity of care and access support in ways that fit their day-to-day routines.
