About Dinesh

Dinesh Shrestha is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood-related difficulties such as depression and bipolar symptoms. He also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and ADHD-related challenges.

He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and practicing skills to manage intense feelings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods to shape the work together.

Sessions often include goal setting, clear homework tasks, and brief skills practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and mindfulness exercises are available when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used for readiness and change conversations around substance use or behavioral shifts.

He speaks English, Hindi, and Nepali and attends to cultural and immigration-related issues as part of the therapy focus. The approach emphasizes practical steps people can try and then review to see what helps most.

People who want structured, skills-based help will find a direct style oriented toward problem solving. The therapist aims to work collaboratively on steps you can test in daily life and adjust as needed.

Using CBT, DBT, and client-centered work online

He commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and routines that keep problems going. CBT focuses on testing small changes and tracking what works for everyday situations. Client-centered work means conversations that follow the client’s priorities, giving space to describe concerns and set practical goals together.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Those DBT skills teach concrete steps for managing intensity and improving relationships. The therapist will discuss which of these approaches fits best based on your needs, goals, and preferences; finding the right fit is a collaborative process rather than a single decision.

Confirm the currently offered session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. They also allow review of worksheets and practice exercises together during the meeting. The therapist will work with each person to set practical plans and homework that fit daily life.
