Getting to know Shira Sivan
Shira Sivan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice offering virtual mental health therapy for residents of Florida & NY. Shira's specialty is in trauma-informed care for adolescents and young women, integrating CBT & ACT with an attachment-focused lens. Shira is dedicated to helping clients process deep-seated emotional blocks, repair relational bonds through a secure therapeutic alliance, and empowers her clients to build autonomy, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and navigate life’s high-stakes transitions with resilience and clarity.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My practice is rooted in Trauma-Informed Care (TIC). This means your psychological safety and autonomy are the foundation of everything we do. I prioritize building a secure therapeutic alliance where you feel empowered to lead the way, while I provide the clinical map.
For clients navigating OCD, anxiety, or depression, I incorporate CBT, ACT, and ERP. These tools offer tangible strategies to manage intrusive thoughts and build emotional regulation.
We will explore the "internal working models" that shape your relationships. By looking at attachment styles, we can identify why you might struggle with "approval-seeking" or find it difficult to set boundaries with others.
I specialize in the systemic stressors women face—from the isolation of military or long-distance relationships to the identity shifts of the postpartum period and the pressure of transitioning from college to the workforce.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical session is 60 minutes to provide you with ample time to feel at ease sharing your thoughts and feelings in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
As a Virtual-Only provider, our sessions take place via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. This allows you to engage in deep, transformative work from the safety and privacy of your own space.
Our work together is a collaborative partnership designed to move you from feeling overwhelmed by "negative cycles" to a place of secure, confident autonomy. We check in regularly on our progress. My goal is never for you to feel "dependent" on therapy, but rather to help you cultivate the internal working models and coping skills needed to be your own best advocate. We continuously adjust our "process-based lens" to ensure our work remains deeply aligned with your evolving identity as a young woman.
