Shoshanna Joss, LCSW - Therapist in New Jersey

About Shoshanna

Shoshanna Joss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a practical, person-focused style to help families and individuals navigate hard moments. She centers sessions on the client and combines proven tools like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship struggles. Shoshanna keeps language simple and aims for clear next steps each week.

She has six years of experience as an LCSW in New Jersey and has worked with people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and trauma.

Background and approach

Her background includes training in trauma-focused care and integrating mindfulness and meditation into therapy. Shoshanna describes therapy as a partnership where goals are set together and progress is tracked in concrete ways. In sessions she uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters to the person in front of her.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns in thinking and to try small experiments that change mood and behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, grounding, and emotional regulation. Shoshanna also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want change but feel stuck.

Trauma-focused tools are used when past events continue to affect daily life. These approaches are combined to match each person’s needs rather than following a fixed protocol. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or messaging. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It creates space to set personal goals and to shape sessions around immediate concerns, whether that is parenting stress or relationship conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavioral changes to improve mood and problem-solving. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress, and is easy to use through video or phone sessions with practical homework between meetings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to calm the body and pay attention to the present moment. These exercises can reduce reactivity and improve coping for grief, caregiving fatigue, and daily stress, and are easy to practice with guidance during an online session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust over time. This collaborative process helps make sure the therapy feels useful and realistic.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let the therapist use visual cues; phone sessions remove screen pressure; live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life changes and caregiving demands.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
