About Esther
Esther Robinson brings six years of clinical experience to her practice in Maryland. She holds an MD and licenses as an LCPC and LPC. Esther focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and related struggles.
She writes short, clear goals with each person and keeps sessions practical and focused on what matters most now. Esther listens first and then helps people map a path forward.
How Esther works
She uses conversation and structured techniques to address mood, panic, and substance concerns. She also supports people coping with grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, and life changes that feel overwhelming. Her work blends client-centered conversations with evidence-informed tools.
That means the person’s goals shape the plan, and specific skills are taught when helpful. Esther may use cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies to manage intense emotions. <br

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Esther commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person’s goals, creating a space to talk through what feels hard. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical behavior therapy offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping during moments of crisis or high distress.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Esther works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes those approaches easier to access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick reflections, in-the-moment coaching, or ongoing reminders about skills. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic tools a licensed professional would use in person.
