About Ananya
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), 3 years of experience. Ananya Khandelwal focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, eating concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She offers sessions in English and Hindi and works with people who are navigating life and work pressures.
Ananya uses practical, evidence-informed techniques and aims for clear, usable tools rather than long theory talks. She prefers direct, task-focused sessions that look at what's blocking daily functioning. She emphasizes communication skills, coping strategies for mood and anxiety, and attention to body image and eating-related worries.
Her background includes work in hospitals, clinics, private practice, and non-profit settings. That mix informs how she approaches common problems like work stress, burnout, and difficulty setting boundaries. She also notes experience with people from South Asian backgrounds and the pressures that can come with those cultural contexts.
Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns, practicing concrete skills, and tracking small changes week to week. Expect goal-oriented conversations, homework or exercises when helpful, and straightforward feedback about next steps. Ananya aims to translate conversations into actions that fit a person's daily life.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location. International clients are accepted, and prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based techniques work in online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral techniques, focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. These methods help with anxiety, depression, and thinking patterns that affect mood and behavior.DBT-informed skills, such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance, teach practical steps for handling intense feelings and impulsivity. These skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or lead to risky actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as progress is made, so the plan can change based on what actually helps.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options if video is not convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, worksheets, and skills practice to remote appointments so steps learned in session transfer to everyday routines.
