About Esther
Esther Robinson is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland. She holds an MD and is credentialed as an LCPC and LPC. She brings six years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors.
Esther listens first and adapts her approach to each person. Sessions are respectful and direct. She aims to help clients build coping skills, improve motivation, and strengthen self-esteem through clear, practical steps.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also assists people coping with anger, panic, and post-traumatic stress. ADHD is among the concerns she lists and is part of the issues she addresses in sessions.
Esther uses a mix of methods that match a person’s needs. She draws from client-centered methods that emphasize the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and DBT skills for emotion regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when helpful to boost focus and commitment.
People who prefer practical guidance and steady encouragement often find her style helpful. She works with straightforward language and concrete tools you can try between sessions. The goal is to leave each meeting with something useful to apply in daily life.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and goals, with the therapist following your lead and reflecting what matters most to you. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to build their own plan for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concentration struggles, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills are useful for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Esther will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adapt the plan as you progress. Together you choose which techniques to emphasize and which formats work best for your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face when you want a full session. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, momentary coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
