About Zhanna
Zhanna Bukshan is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and ADHD. She speaks English and Russian and practices from Texas. Her style is straightforward and supportive, focused on helping people take realistic steps forward.
She offers a calm space for people to talk through panic, trauma, grief, and social anxiety. Zhanna helps with life transitions like divorce and separation, and with challenges such as caregiver stress, substance use concerns, and mood disorders.
How Zhanna works
Conversations are paced to match what each person needs. Communication skills and self-compassion are regular themes in her work. She helps people notice attachment patterns, manage control and commitment issues, and reduce isolation.
Practical strategies are combined with time to reflect and make meaning of difficult events. Clients can expect focused conversations about goals and small changes to try between sessions. Zhanna pays attention to how day-to-day behavior affects relationships and mood, and she supports steps toward clearer communication and healthier routines.
She brings five years of clinical experience to her practice and aims to make therapy accessible and relevant. If someone is ready to explore life purpose, forgiveness, or healing after trauma, she works collaboratively to build a plan that fits their needs.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Zhanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with attention to how past patterns affect current life. She often focuses on approaches that teach coping skills for anxiety and depression, helping people learn tools to manage panic, mood swings, and day-to-day stress.She also works from methods that address relationship and attachment patterns, helping clients notice communication habits, boundary issues, and ways of relating that keep problems repeating. These approaches can help with commitment concerns, isolation, and improving how someone connects with others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches in session, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful and realistic for daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer therapy conversations, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
