About Ashwini

Ashwini Gupta brings a psychotherapy practice rooted in evidence-based methods and a spiritually informed presence. With two decades of experience, Ashwini integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around values, psychological flexibility, and practical strategies so clients can take meaningful steps toward goals while managing difficult emotions. Her work also reflects an appreciation for attachment dynamics and existential questions, which informs support for issues such as abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, grief, and identity concerns including LGBT matters.

Ashwini is licensed as an LMFT and draws on both cognitive-behavioral tools and attachment-based perspectives to address patterns that affect communication, commitment, and self-esteem. She offers services in English, Hindi, and Tamil and accepts international clients, providing a versatile, culturally aware approach tailored to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to build psychological flexibility by helping clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take actions aligned with their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges that involve motivation or life direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed in early bonds and how they show up in adult relationships. It helps people work through attachment injuries, abandonment concerns, communication problems, and codependency by fostering healthier emotional connection and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then combines ACT, attachment work, client-centered listening, and cognitive strategies as appropriate to craft a plan that fits the person’s situation.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate international clients, and continue consistent care during life transitions while allowing licensed professionals to adapt interventions to remote formats.
