About Sunya
Sunya Kapidya is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Georgia. She brings eight years of experience across hospitals, inpatient and outpatient settings, and hospice care. Sunya uses a straightforward, collaborative style to help people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and other life challenges.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-based work. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sunya aims to help clients notice what matters to them, build coping skills, and make small changes that add up. Her background includes program development and work with people facing a wide range of concerns. That work exposed her to chronic illness, caregiving stress, addiction, and trauma, among other issues.
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, and identity questions including LGBT concerns. Sunya speaks English and Hindi and practices with an emphasis on listening and partnership. She helps clients sort through difficult emotions and plan realistic next steps.
The approach is patient, down-to-earth, and goal oriented. Many clients find it helpful that Sunya blends evidence-based techniques with a client-centered attitude. She encourages people to use what fits their life and to adjust what doesn’t.
The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Sunya often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT helps people name what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sunya will discuss your goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits your needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what you can manage between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messages allow short check-ins, homework exchanges, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work, school, and caregiving duties.
