Dhruti Shah, LPC, LCPC

Dhruti Shah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She blends practical, evidence-based approaches with mindfulness and elements drawn from Eastern practices to help people manage stress, anxiety, and everyday habits of thought. Her style is calm and straightforward, focused on small changes that add up over time.

In sessions she uses methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and person-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also incorporates mindfulness and yoga-inspired ideas when they fit a person’s preferences. The goal is to build habits that support better sleep, clearer thinking, and steadier moods.

Her work includes support for depression, grief, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and identity issues for LGBT people. She also helps with anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and relationship patterns, caregiver stress, compulsive or dependent behaviors, and challenges like dissociation or emptiness.

Shah blends practical skills training with a warm, client-centered stance. Sessions emphasize learning simple tools to use between meetings. She aims to help people find meaning and restore a sense of hope after difficult experiences.

She offers services from Kansas and communicates in English, Gujarati, and Hindi. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that fit personal values. It helps people move toward what matters despite uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and reflects so people can make their own changes.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to try different skills and see what helps most. Goals, preferences, and life demands guide which methods are emphasized during sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, by reducing travel time and allowing a quicker check-in during a work break or between obligations. It also lets people practice new habits in their everyday settings and bring real situations into the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and skills training to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
