About Shani
Shani Phillip is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 12 years of experience.

In sessions she breaks larger problems into smaller, manageable steps. That can include practicing ways to reduce worry, building routines that lift mood, or improving how people talk about tense family issues. Shani keeps recommendations practical and focused on what a person can do between sessions.
People meet her for straightforward help when daily life feels overwhelming. She guides clients through problem solving, emotion management, and realistic planning. To get started clients follow the platform’s matching and scheduling flow to set up an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Shani works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people learn specific skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing or grounding tools and routines for handling worry. These tools are taught in short, repeatable steps and practiced between meetings to reduce day-to-day overwhelm.Another approach focuses on mood and behavior change for depression. That involves identifying small activities that can improve energy and mood, setting simple goals, and tracking how those changes affect daily life. This method helps people test what works and adjust plans over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Confirm the current session format options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online meetings can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions, helping therapy fit into everyday life rather than adding more tasks.
