Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Esther uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative, more helpful narratives. This approach can help with identity questions, shame, and repeating patterns that contribute to anxiety or low self-worth.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the person's goals and experience at the center of sessions. That means conversations follow the client's priorities and pace, useful for building self-esteem and processing grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these approaches, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage mood shifts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Esther will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit care into work, school, or a busy schedule while keeping therapy focused on practical progress.
