About Esther

Esther Robinson is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland with six years of professional experience. She holds MD, LCPC, and LPC credentials (MD LCPC LC13149, DC LPC PRC200001850) and focuses her work on stress, anxiety, addictions, and mood concerns among other issues.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people through depression, mood regulation, and coping with life changes while addressing problems such as ADHD, grief, anger, and bipolar-related challenges. Esther draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.

She shapes each treatment plan around an individual’s circumstances, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a tailored plan that honors personal strengths and preferences.

Esther frames therapy as a joint process in which motivation and small steps build toward greater stability and self-awareness. She supports people seeking clearer coping skills, improved emotional regulation, and renewed confidence as they work toward change.

Online Approaches for Skill Building and Emotional Regulation

Esther commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and some addiction-related habits. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills-focused strategies to teach practical techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense feelings or reactivity are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Esther approaches that decision collaboratively. She will discuss your goals, preferences, and life context, and then adapt methods from CBT, DBT, or client-centered work to match what seems most useful for you in practice sessions and between-session work.

Online therapy with Esther is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into a busy life and to practice new skills from home or other familiar spaces while maintaining ongoing contact with a licensed professional.
