About Shoshanna
Shoshanna Joss uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stressful life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who listens first and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical steps parents and adults can use right away.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She also supports people managing career shifts, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions blend straightforward conversation with tools to manage emotions and day-to-day demands. Shoshanna draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable thinking. She uses mindfulness exercises to teach simple breathing and grounding practices that calm the body and mind.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing changes and needs encouragement to move forward. Her background includes work with caregiving issues, blended family challenges, body image and cancer-related concerns, and aging and geriatric matters. She brings six years of clinical experience as an LCSW in New Jersey and has worked across multiple settings supporting people through transitions and loss.
People who choose her can expect a partnership that balances support with gentle challenge. Conversations aim to build skills for coping and to create small, realistic steps toward the goals each person sets. She communicates in English and accepts international clients when scheduling allows.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Shoshanna offers cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices in online sessions. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple breathing and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and grief.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest strategies to try. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing busy lives.
