Dinesh Shrestha, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Dinesh

Dinesh Shrestha is a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. He speaks English, Hindi, and Nepali. He works from Texas and brings five years of counseling experience to each meeting.

His approach is respectful and compassionate, aimed at meeting people where they are. In sessions he listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s needs.

Background and approach

He uses clear, practical tools to manage symptoms like sleep trouble, anger, or panic attacks. He also addresses deeper issues such as guilt, shame, grief, and identity concerns. Conversations are tailored to what matters most to the client.

He draws from several tested methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets him focus on changing thoughts and habits, building emotional regulation, and strengthening motivation for change. He adapts techniques depending on the situation.

People who come for help may be dealing with addictions, ADHD, mood disorders, immigration-related stress, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. He also supports those coping with career stress, midlife questions, and parenting challenges. The plan centers on practical steps and small measurable goals.

Beginning therapy usually means completing basic intake questions and then setting session times that fit the client. Dinesh aims to create an atmosphere of respect and collaboration while helping people move toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's lived experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes treatment around their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship stress.

Finding the right method is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to decide whether CBT, DBT, client-centered work, or a mix best fits their needs and preferences. That decision is revisited as goals change so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue work between meetings. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when life gets hectic, and messaging supports short check-ins and skill practice on the go. Together these options aim to make regular therapy more accessible and adaptable to each person’s routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
