Integrating therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Dhruti Shah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most so they can act in ways that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where creating meaningful direction is important.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. CBT is often applied to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic patterns such as compulsive behaviors or unhelpful thinking.

In addition, Dhruti draws on client-centered therapy principles, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance that supports clients in finding their own solutions and building self-trust. This approach can be especially helpful for work on self-esteem, relationship challenges, and processing grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dhruti will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting the plan as needed to find the best fit.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexible ways to access care. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distances.
