Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Esther integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and build self-awareness while the therapist follows the client's lead to create a supportive environment. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve mood regulation. DBT provides structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, trauma symptoms, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is done collaboratively. Esther works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts techniques so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method. Clients and the therapist regularly review progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments and help maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. For many people, remote sessions provide a practical and effective path to consistent therapeutic support delivered by licensed professionals and therapists.
