About Dinesh
Dinesh Shrestha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and a broad range of other concerns.
Background and approach
With five years of clinical experience, he approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the individual’s circumstances and goals. He aims to create a collaborative environment where clients can explore issues like grief, addiction, intimacy challenges, sleep problems, parenting struggles, and mood disorders.
Beyond common concerns, he also works with areas such as immigration-related stress, multicultural challenges, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and obsessive or impulsive behaviors. His practice draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, dialectical strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, which he integrates based on what each person needs.
He encourages anyone ready to pursue greater balance and well-being to take that first step, offering steady support throughout the therapeutic journey.
Therapeutic approaches and what online therapy offers
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and obsessive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard, helping people explore feelings and build self-understanding at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support those coping with intense emotions and impulsive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they will try techniques, assess what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming a single path from the start.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy or dispersed lives. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing ongoing work on coping skills, behavior change, and emotional processing without needing to travel to an office.
