About Supriya

Supriya Shanti combines evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, person-centered stance to help people build coping skills and strengthen their mindset.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical practice, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, mindfulness, and narrative work to address stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief, and related concerns. Supriya emphasizes practical strategies for short-term work focused on measurable change while remaining attentive to each client’s experience.

She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and thoughts, learn new habits, and develop confidence in self-care. Her practice includes support for members of the LGBT community and addresses a broad range of issues such as self-esteem, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Supriya also attends to matters connected to life transitions and relational patterns, including attachment issues, caregiver stress, and family of origin themes. Located in Vermont, Supriya holds the licenses LCSW and LICSW and offers short-term therapy pathways that typically last three to six months for clients focused on skills and mindset shifts.

She encourages those ready to try practical tools to take the first step toward greater resilience and well-being.

Online Approaches for Practical Change and Emotional Balance

Supriya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her repertoire, encouraging values-based action and greater psychological flexibility when coping with painful thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on relational and developmental patterns, helping people understand how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Supriya discusses goals, preferences, and life context with each person to determine which methods feel most useful, and she adapts strategies over time to fit a client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter or more immediate support is possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
