Esther also supports people coping with anger, self-esteem struggles, or the aftermath of abuse.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Esther integrates attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-based work focuses on how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, helping people recognize patterns in their connections. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers clear, practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test what methods feel most useful. That collaboration means adjusting techniques over time based on progress and preferences.
The online format supports this process through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have longer, interactive sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coping reminders, or when written reflection fits a client's routine. Together these options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
