About Dhruti
Dhruti Shah uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage distress and rebuild routines. She combines talk-based methods with mindfulness and elements rooted in eastern practices to support people feeling overwhelmed or broken. Dhruti is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC with seven years of clinical experience in Kansas.
She offers sessions in English, Gujarati, and Hindi and accepts international clients.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, sleep struggles, low self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes. She also works with addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and mood concerns such as bipolar symptoms. The aim is to find simple, step-by-step ways to lessen symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive behavior tools and client-centered listening. Dialectical behavior techniques and emotionally-focused ideas are used when they match a person's needs. Mindfulness practices and breath- or movement-based ideas from yoga may be offered alongside talk therapy.
Dhruti uses short exercises and clear explanations during meetings. She offers techniques people can try between sessions to handle urges, reduce reactivity, and build coping skills. The work is paced to each person's goals and comfort.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own goals to create a safe space for change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match techniques like ACT, CBT, or client-centered listening to the specific concerns someone brings.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer talks and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share between meetings and keep momentum when schedules are tight.
