Sunya Kapidya , LCSW, CSW

Sunya Kapidya is a licensed social worker based in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing over 8 years of experience across clinical and community settings. She holds the credentials LCSW and CSW - LCSW indicating Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW indicating a social work credential - and has developed expertise through roles in program development, inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities, and hospice care.

Her professional background includes substantial hospital-based work, where she received training across a wide range of specialties and supported patients of all ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses. That variety of experience shaped a flexible, strengths-based approach to care and a familiarity with complex presentations such as trauma, grief, addiction, mood disorders, and relationship challenges.

Sunya believes people often carry the answers they need and works collaboratively to help individuals explore their values, build coping skills, and move toward healthier, more satisfying lives. She supports clients with concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting and family issues, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and caregiving or chronic illness challenges. Her practice emphasizes practical tools, empathetic listening, and tailored strategies to help people pursue their goals and improve overall wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Connection

Sunya Kapidya draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that lead to a more meaningful life - an approach that can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, helping people improve connection, trust, and intimacy in families and partnerships. In addition, her client-centered orientation emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to set the pace and goals of therapy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sunya works collaboratively with each person to determine what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pace so the approach aligns with the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Sunya can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage caregiving responsibilities, or access licensed professionals from home, while allowing therapists and clients to adapt the format to fit therapeutic goals.
