About Dhruti
Dhruti Shah is a licensed counselor who blends practical therapy with mindfulness. She is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with seven years of clinical experience in Kansas. She speaks English, Gujarati, and Hindi and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depression.
Her sessions focus on restoring hope and helping people rediscover balance. She uses mindfulness practices alongside talk therapy. That can mean breathing and grounding skills plus concrete behavior techniques to manage emotions and urges.
How Dhruti works
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used when relationships or attachment concerns come up.
Her work often addresses practical daily struggles like sleep problems, eating concerns, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people coping with grief, compassion fatigue, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns. Additional focus areas include codependency, attachment issues, dissociation, and substance use challenges.
Sessions can be conducted in multiple online formats to fit different needs. The approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals, mixing mindfulness exercises with skills practice and discussion to build sustainable coping strategies.

How online therapy and mindful approaches work together
Dhruti uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT focuses on moving toward what matters, even when feelings are difficult.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT gives practical tools for changing reactions, improving sleep, and managing mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught when emotion regulation or strong impulses are a concern, with exercises for distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over several sessions they decide together which techniques are most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when that helps, phone sessions can fit during a work break or when bandwidth is low, and text formats allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while practicing mindfulness and skills work in everyday settings.
