About Sunya

Sunya Kapidya is an LCSW with eight years of clinical experience who centers work around Internal Family Systems and complementary evidence-based approaches.

Background and approach

She draws on a background across inpatient and outpatient settings as well as hospice care in Georgia to help clients explore emotions, patterns, and relationships at a thoughtful pace. Sunya emphasizes the belief that people often hold important internal resources and that therapy can support uncovering those strengths to foster healthier choices and greater wellbeing.

Her practice integrates a mix of approaches tailored to each person, combining relational understanding, practical skills, and values-based work. Sunya has experience supporting individuals with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and compassion fatigue, among other life challenges.

She offers a collaborative, client-centered stance aimed at helping people clarify goals, navigate transitions, and strengthen coping strategies so they can move toward a more balanced and satisfying daily life.

Online approaches that connect internal work with everyday life

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach that helps people notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity rather than judgment, which can be useful for working with self-critical voices, trauma responses, and conflicted feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve current connections and emotional regulation, which can support work on intimacy, parenting, and communication.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and may blend elements from these methods to create a tailored plan that feels practical and respectful of individual pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or work. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, teach coping skills, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
