About Shanti
Shanti Turner is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes. Shanti also addresses parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and family problems in her sessions.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's own goals and experience. That means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and building from the client’s strengths. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to make changes when motivation feels low.
Shanti helps people talk through feelings of emptiness, abandonment, and attachment wounds. She works with issues such as body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, dissociation, and isolation. Career concerns, money and financial stress, and questions about life purpose are part of her focus too.
In a session she aims to hear what led someone to seek help and to create clear next steps together. Conversations are goal-oriented when needed, with hands-on tools from CBT and moments that prioritize what the client already knows about their life.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set a first session. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and people may participate from outside the United States if that fits licensing rules.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters most to the person. Online sessions use that same focus by beginning with the client’s priorities and building goals from their strengths and stories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and action-oriented; in an online session this often means reviewing thought patterns together and assigning simple activities to try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Shanti will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative selection happens early and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The site offers scheduling that begins with a short matching questionnaire and a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work and family commitments.
