About Shoshanna

Shoshanna Joss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on clear, practical therapy. She uses collaborative conversations and tools to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Shoshanna works from New Jersey and speaks English.

She favors a client-centered stance that starts with listening to what matters most to each person. From there she blends cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck, and trauma-focused work addresses past hurts that still affect daily life. Sessions are goal-oriented and paced to match each person’s needs. Shoshanna aims to strike a balance between support and challenge so people leave sessions with a clear next step.

She also brings experience helping people through caregiving stress, chronic illness, career shifts, and major life transitions. Her background includes six years in clinical practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and work across a range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and communication problems. That experience shapes her straightforward style and practical tools for coping.

People who choose to work with her can expect an approach that combines listening, practical skill-building, and mindfulness practice. Shoshanna partners with clients to set goals and adapt methods so the work fits each person’s life and priorities.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Shoshanna commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy means she focuses first on listening and understanding each person’s experience, then collaborates on goals that matter to the client. CBT teaches simple skills to notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors that reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily tension and emotional patterns, and Motivational Interviewing when someone feels ready but uncertain about change. Choosing the right mix is a team effort - she will work with each client to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while using the approaches described above.
