About Ananya
Ananya Khandelwal is an LMHC based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, eating concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Hindi and welcomes international clients. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at finding what gets in the way and building tools that fit real life.
She draws on multiple evidence-based techniques and tailors sessions to each person's needs. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, developing coping strategies, and practicing small changes between meetings. The goal is to make progress feel usable, not theoretical.
Before becoming a therapist she worked in hospitals, clinics, private practices, and non-profits. That range of settings informed a pragmatic style and familiarity with many kinds of struggles people bring to therapy. She has three years of professional experience as an LMHC and uses that background to guide her work.
Her sessions often address body image, communication problems, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, mood challenges, narcissism, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns. She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps people can try outside of sessions to see real change.
People who connect with her tend to want warm but direct guidance. She centers practical solutions while respecting each person’s pace and culture. To start, clients can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Evidence-based techniques in therapy give people clear, practical steps to try between sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can ease anxiety and improve mood. Skills-based methods teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which often helps with relationship and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative and goal-oriented.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that work around work or study. Some people prefer shorter phone conversations for quick check-ins, while others choose video meetings for more in-depth work. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what fits your routine and needs.
