Dinesh Shrestha, LPC

Dinesh Shrestha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress and anxiety. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns. He writes plainly and tries to make talk therapy approachable for people who feel overwhelmed.

Dinesh frames sessions around respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He listens first, then adapts the conversation and a plan to each person's needs. He aims to make the work practical and grounded so it fits into everyday life.

With five years of experience in counseling, Dinesh focuses on short-term skills and longer-term personal understanding as needed. He draws on methods that help with managing strong emotions, reducing unhelpful thoughts, and repairing close connections.

People can expect clear, goal-oriented conversations. Dinesh will help identify small steps to try between meetings and check in on progress. He encourages questions and adjusts pace so clients feel able to take part in decisions about treatment.

Dinesh sees challenges like grief, sleep problems, addiction concerns, and questions about identity or purpose as connected to daily habits and relationships. He works to break big problems into manageable pieces and to help people build coping tools they can use outside sessions.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation where the client leads the pace and topics. It helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can help when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit those needs. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in their everyday routines, which helps translate what is learned in sessions into real life.
