About
Shanti Turner, LMSW, is a clinician licensed in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She works with stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, self esteem and confidence, family and parenting issues, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to mood disorders, panic, and other acute shifts in functioning.
Turner also focuses on areas that often intersect with those presenting concerns: abandonment and attachment struggles, body image and dissociation, feelings of emptiness and isolation, hoarding and impulsivity, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and money. She lists post-traumatic stress and personality-related concerns among the issues she helps address.
She frames work from a strengths-oriented perspective, viewing each person as the expert of their own story and as someone who brings resources to the process. Turner emphasizes support for the step of seeking help and partners with clients as they weigh challenges, draw on strengths, and move toward the changes they hope to make.

Approaches used in online sessions
Shanti Turner integrates Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client perspective at the center of sessions. That approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and working from the client’s priorities so that sessions follow what the person identifies as most important. It supports exploration of values, strengths, and the stories people bring to therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolkit. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop practical strategies to shift unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing is applied to explore ambivalence and to strengthen personal motivation for change when goals feel uncertain or difficult to begin.
Turner aims to collaborate with clients who want a mix of empathic listening and concrete skill-building. Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their communication needs.
