About Puneet
CA LCSW with 3 years of clinical experience. Puneet Kumta focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She also pays special attention to caregiver stress and women’s issues.
Puneet uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage intense emotions and get practical tools for day-to-day life. She encourages clients to notice automatic thoughts and to test and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skill building and concrete steps between meetings.
Her approach is informed by a personal commitment to healing. That perspective shapes how she talks about trauma, isolation, and reconnecting with others. She frames recovery as a gradual process that often begins with small, manageable changes.
Puneet works with people who are ready to do active work on their concerns. She helps clients identify what’s causing stress, practice new ways of coping, and plan for life transitions. Parents or caregivers facing persistent strain can focus on boundaries and self-care strategies.
Practical details and next steps are handled through the site’s matching and scheduling flow. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then book a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s stated procedures for appointments and billing.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address emotional and behavioral patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying and shifting automatic thoughts. That involves noticing unhelpful thinking, testing it against reality, and practicing alternative perspectives to reduce anxiety and low mood.Another technique centers on skill building for coping and emotion regulation. This includes learning concrete strategies for managing distress, improving sleep and routine, and handling relationship stress. These skills are practiced in sessions and assigned as short exercises between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying different methods and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Be prepared to discuss how sessions will be scheduled, billed through the subscription model, and what to expect for a first appointment.
