About Indinesya
Indinesya Zhao is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with trauma, relationship strain, and concerns related to veteran and armed forces experiences.
She centers care on each person’s strengths and goals. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations aim to build tools people can use between appointments and to help them feel steadier in daily life.
Background and approach
In the therapy room she draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to clarify values and take action even when emotions feel difficult.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past trauma keeps showing up in the present. Indinesya brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She uses solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Those steps are blended to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling their first appointment.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change thought and behavior patterns that feed depression or worry. It focuses on techniques that can be practiced between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets disturbing memories and the reactions they trigger, which can reduce the way past trauma shows up in daily life.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques that match a person’s goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist work together to find what feels most helpful rather than committing to a single method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and real-time interaction, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care from different locations.
