About Dinesh
Dinesh Shrestha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and phobias. He meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps that reduce daily distress. His approach is straightforward and respectful so people can feel understood quickly.
He uses a mix of conversations and hands-on skills practice to address problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques are part of his toolkit.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning new ways to manage thoughts, calm the body, and change unhelpful patterns. Dinesh adapts plans to a person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. He listens for what matters most to each person and collaborates on goals they can test between sessions.
That makes progress easier to notice and build on. He brings five years of counseling experience working with issues such as depression, addictions, panic, obsessions and compulsions, grief, and relationship tension. He also helps people facing immigration stress, multicultural concerns, and challenges related to life purpose and midlife changes.
Sessions are available in English, Hindi, and Nepali. Appointments can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People start by using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time that fits their routine.
How his approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding a person’s priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental place to talk and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change thought and behavior patterns, and it is often used for worries, panic, phobias, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense emotions and impulsive reactions.Dinesh treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. If something isn’t working, he adjusts the plan so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit into a busy day and let people send notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep steady momentum and practice skills in real life.
