Dhruti Shah, LPC, LCPC

Dhruti Shah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who draws on both evidence-based therapy and a holistic outlook. She uses clear, practical therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and midlife transitions. Sessions emphasize everyday skills and steady progress rather than jargon or quick fixes.

Shah blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, and client-centered care. She also brings practices from Eastern traditions like mindfulness and yoga into the work when clients are interested. This mix aims to strengthen coping strategies and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.

With seven years of clinical experience, she has supported people dealing with trauma, self-esteem struggles, depression, and relationship pain. Her work also addresses more specific concerns such as codependency, abandonment, dissociation, and substance use. She pays attention to how culture and personal history shape each person's situation.

Sessions are practical and focused on what helps someone function better day to day. She offers education about patterns and teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer thinking. The goal is to help people reconnect with meaning and build routines that feel manageable.

Shah works in Kansas and communicates in English, Gujarati, and Hindi. She accepts clients from other countries as well. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes where values-driven action matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build routines that reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routine, and then recommend methods that fit. That collaborative process can include trying different tools to see what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether someone needs shorter check-ins or wants to avoid travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining regular appointments and practicing skills between meetings.
