Remote care using skill-based and trauma-informed methods
Esther integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients notice thought and behavior patterns and to develop concrete coping skills. In accessible terms, CBT is used to explore how thinking influences mood and action, while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those looking for structured skill-building may find this combination a practical fit.
She also employs Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to support people who want to clarify goals and take manageable steps toward change. Trauma-Focused Therapy is available for those addressing traumatic events, with attention to processing experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. Esther works collaboratively, tailoring techniques to the client’s needs and pacing.
Remote sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their communication preferences.
