About Dinesh
Dinesh Shrestha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, anger, and related concerns. He speaks English, Hindi, and Nepali.
Dinesh keeps sessions direct and practical. He uses conversation to identify what is most distressing, then focuses on skills and thinking patterns that change how a person responds. He draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to help reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.
Clients can expect an approach that centers their experience and preferences. Dinesh practices client-centered care, which means the conversation is shaped around what matters most to the client. He also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and from motivational interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck.
In sessions he tends to break challenges into small, manageable steps. For anger and impulsivity he will work on noticing triggers, slowing reactions, and practicing alternative responses. For anxiety and sleep problems he mixes thought-focused work with grounding and mindfulness exercises.
He also addresses longer-term patterns such as shame, guilt, and loneliness, and supports people facing life transitions, immigration-related stress, or career strain. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and next steps are set together.
How his approaches work for anger and related issues
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens for what matters, and shapes sessions around those priorities. This approach helps people who want a practical, respectful conversation about their temper and relationships.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, addresses the thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete steps to change reactions, which can reduce outbursts and persistent resentment. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds clear emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful for intense feelings and impulsivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That means you and the therapist decide together whether more skills practice, thought work, or motivational support is the best next step.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove commute time. If you prefer work on skills and thought patterns in a focused way, the approaches above can be applied adaptively in remote sessions; discuss format preferences when you schedule the first appointment.
