About Ashwini
Ashwini Gupta is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She combines practical, evidence-informed talk therapy with a calm, grounded presence to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Those methods are paired with attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current worries and closeness with others.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple skills. Clients learn techniques to handle strong feelings, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust with themselves and others. Work may include values clarification, exposure to avoided situations, and communication practice.
With two decades of experience, Ashwini sees a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, addictions, parenting stress, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar challenges. She also supports people facing career shifts, identity questions, and healing around family of origin issues. She offers therapy in English, Hindi, and Tamil and is available to international clients.
Session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes; it suits worry, depression, and habits like avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and conflict, which can help with intimacy struggles and communication problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as work progresses. That partnership helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused work, or a mix will best support your priorities and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be a quick check-in or fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging let people use brief check-ins, journal-style reflection, or step-by-step support when schedules are tight. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
