About Sunya

Sunya Kapidya is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, CSW) practicing in Georgia with eight years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, and hospice settings.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of clinical training gained while working in hospital environments to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, trauma, and many other concerns. Sunya emphasizes a collaborative process that helps clients uncover their own answers and build sustainable coping skills.

Her background includes program development and direct clinical work with patients of varied ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses, which informs a flexible, person-centered approach. Sunya integrates evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based techniques alongside attachment-focused work to help clients address relationship patterns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She aims to accompany clients through practical skill-building and reflective exploration so they can move toward healthier, more fulfilling daily lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Sunya frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility to navigate painful thoughts and emotions. Attachment-based work complements these approaches by exploring relationship patterns and early relational experiences that influence current connections and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to clarify goals, assess what methods fit their needs and preferences, and adapt strategies over time so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support while accommodating clients who need remote access or prefer different communication styles.
