About Esther
Esther draws on 13 years of clinical experience working with concerns like relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing career stress, parenting struggles, eating concerns, and the effects of compassion fatigue and ADHD on daily life.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters to the client, identifying patterns that get in the way, and practicing concrete skills to change those patterns.
Esther also addresses a wide range of related topics including abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns. She offers space to talk about identity-related matters such as LGBT topics and living with HIV/AIDS.
People who work with Esther can expect straightforward conversation, help naming difficult feelings, and support turning small insights into daily changes. To begin, clients follow the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to current options.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Esther combines attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral methods to address relationship and life transitions. Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people recognize and change those patterns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can identify their own next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that lead to better outcomes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Esther will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and help choose or blend methods that feel most useful. The aim is to tailor the work so it fits daily life and leads to practical changes over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, child care, or travel by removing commute time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It also lets people use shorter or more frequent sessions when that helps practice new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT worksheets or attachment-focused exercises to work well in remote sessions, helping clients apply what they learn to real-world situations.
