Dinesh Shrestha, LPC

Dinesh Shrestha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges. He also supports those facing grief, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, and Nepali.

He uses a straightforward, collaborative style. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent to the client. He listens with respect and adapts the plan to each person's needs. The goal is practical change, step by step.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a regular part of his approach, helping people notice patterns of thought and try new behaviors. He also draws from client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the client's priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques are used when emotional regulation and stress tolerance are core concerns.

Dinesh brings five years of professional experience to his practice as an LPC. He frames sessions around achievable goals and tools that people can use outside of meetings. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding personal reasons to change.

People who reach out can expect clear, doable steps and a focus on everyday life. Treatment plans are adjusted over time as progress is made. The aim is to help clients move through difficult moments and toward better functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dinesh frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and obsessive or compulsive patterns. CBT offers clear exercises and homework that work well in remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy is another approach he draws on; it emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what the client finds most meaningful, which helps build trust in video or phone meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences in the first meetings and adjust methods as needs change. Clients and therapist decide together whether CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy make the most sense for the issue at hand.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when a shorter interaction is preferred. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
