More about Dinesha
- 6 years' experience

- LMFT
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with clients across diverse backgrounds, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. I'm particularly skilled at addressing self-esteem concerns, anger management, and the complex emotions of guilt and shame that often accompany difficult experiences.
My approach centers on fostering self-love and building healthier communication patterns. I work with clients who struggle with isolation, loneliness, and social anxiety, helping them reconnect with themselves and others. I'm also experienced in supporting those working through control issues and the relational patterns that often underlie them.
I believe in creating a therapeutic space where you feel genuinely seen and respected. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion and authenticity as you work toward meaningful change and healing. I'm honored to support your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
