About Dhruti

Dhruti Shah is a licensed counselor who brings a calm, practical approach to therapy. She uses a mix of talking and skill-building to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, addictions, and mood concerns. Dhruti speaks English, Gujarati, and Hindi and works with people in Kansas and internationally.

She blends eastern practices such as mindfulness and yoga with evidence-based counseling methods. In sessions she focuses on small, doable steps people can use between meetings. That might mean learning a simple breathing practice, trying a new bedtime routine, or testing a thought record to spot unhelpful thinking.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor. Dhruti holds LPC and LCPC credentials and draws on multiple approaches to match each person’s needs. She emphasizes helping clients reconnect with what matters to them and building everyday habits that support rest and recovery.

People who come for help may be dealing with grief, trauma, depression, relationship wounds, or ongoing stress from caregiving or work. She also supports concerns like anger, eating struggles, dissociation, and codependency by teaching practical skills and strategies.

Sessions are focused and collaborative, with an eye toward small changes that add up. Dhruti helps clients set realistic goals and practices to try between sessions. Those who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. Online sessions can focus on small behavior changes and values-based exercises that fit into daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In virtual work this often becomes a mix of talking, practicing a new skill during the session, and assigning short exercises to do between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they react to different exercises. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is most helpful. Confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports practicing skills in everyday settings and following up on sleep routines or mindfulness exercises between appointments.
