About Dhruti
Dhruti Shah is a licensed counselor who blends practical therapy with mindfulness and eastern healing ideas. She brings seven years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people regain balance during hard times. Her work centers on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and codependency concerns.
She uses evidence-based methods alongside practices drawn from yoga and mindfulness. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build new skills, and make values-based choices. The tone is hopeful and down-to-earth, with space for cultural and personal background to be part of the conversation.
In practice she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix lets her address emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and codependent dynamics in a way that fits each person. Psychoeducation and simple mindfulness exercises are used when helpful.
She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar symptoms, caregiver stress, and substance use. She also notes additional focus on attachment, abandonment, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions can include practical skill work, values clarification, and paced emotional processing. Dhruti speaks English, Gujarati, and Hindi, and she offers services for international clients who wish to connect. To get started the site matching tool is used to schedule an initial appointment.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and codependency when someone wants to live by personal values rather than be driven by fear or habit. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT is practical for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and many everyday difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness exercises first, then adding CBT skill work, or blending ACT and emotion-focused steps depending on how things go.
