About Shoshanna

Shoshanna Joss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing parenting stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She brings six years of experience as an LCSW in New Jersey and focuses on practical steps parents can use between sessions. She prioritizes a collaborative, goal-focused style.

Sessions are plainspoken and aimed at small, achievable changes. Shoshanna often blends cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address anxious thinking and low mood.

Background and approach

She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to disrupt daily life. Typical work includes coping strategies for big life changes, support for caregiver strain, and guidance on communication and conflict. Parents get tools for handling anger, setting boundaries, and rebuilding routines after loss or separation.

She also supports people dealing with career stress, body image concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her approach treats therapy as a partnership. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps people set clear goals they can try between visits.

Sessions may include simple mindfulness exercises and practical behavior changes to test what helps. Shoshanna practices in New Jersey as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English. She welcomes people who want direct coaching alongside psychotherapy techniques.

The focus is on steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. In online sessions that means time is spent hearing your concerns and shaping goals you want to reach, with the therapist following your pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Online CBT includes practical exercises and homework you can try between video or chat sessions to test new ways of responding to stress and parenting challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These exercises can be guided during video or phone sessions and practiced on your own afterward to help with anxiety and mood regulation.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls let you see facial cues and run through exercises together. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions.
