About Shana
Shana Maltzman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York (LCSW-R) and New Jersey (LCSW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and career-related strain.
Shana helps people untangle recurring patterns that make daily life harder. She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies so people can handle hard moments more easily. Sessions often include problem-solving for work stress, communication skills for relationships, and ways to manage anxiety or low mood.
Her background includes long experience with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and hospice and end-of-life concerns. She also supports people facing family of origin problems, divorce or separation, infidelity, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Body image, attachment, and cancer-related emotional work are part of her practice as well.
Clinically, Shana draws on client-centered methods to focus on the person in front of her, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior, and narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at personal stories and past patterns. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make concrete changes but feel stuck.
She sees therapy as a collaborative process. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her clinical approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and responding to what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs clearer thinking about values, priorities, or next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful routines. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure or stuck; it uses questions and reflection to build motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns and goals together and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as sessions progress so it fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Some formats require less bandwidth or work better without video, which can suit people who prefer to listen instead of being on camera. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy fit everyday life while using evidence-based strategies from the approaches described above.
