Background and approach
Shoshanna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered listening to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Her background includes six years in clinical practice as an LCSW, and many more years working in social work settings. That mix of clinical and social work experience informs a down-to-earth style.
She aims to support people through tough moments and transitions without jargon or long lectures. Shoshanna encourages collaboration on goals and steps that fit into everyday life. She may suggest short exercises between sessions and teach simple mindfulness practices.
The work is paced to match what each person can manage while still moving toward change. People who contact her typically want clear tools for coping, help with grief or trauma, or support as they navigate relationship and family stress. Her approach centers on listening first, then offering practical strategies to reduce symptoms and build new habits.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and can set their own goals. This approach helps when someone wants space to talk through feelings and make decisions at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, like managing anxiety or depression. CBT sessions often include short exercises and assignments that people can practice between meetings to see steady progress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing past events that continue to cause distress, using careful, paced work to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It can be combined with mindfulness and grounding techniques to help during difficult moments.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a plan to try together. Adjustments are normal and expected as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions if bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text messaging for brief updates or exercises. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, keep continuity during life changes, and use short formats for focused skills work.
