About Esther

Esther Robinson is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland with an MD, LCPC, and LPC and six years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, bipolar challenges, life transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassionate collaboration while tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. Esther works from a framework that helps clients build motivation, stabilize mood, and develop practical coping strategies.

She brings techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to create an individualized plan. The work often includes addressing communication difficulties, substance-related problems, panic and post-traumatic responses, and cultivating self-love and forgiveness.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where goals are set together and steps are paced to fit readiness and life demands. Esther frames change as a courageous process and aims to empower people toward greater functioning and well-being through collaborative dialogue and evidence-informed methods.

Approaches for online support and practical change



Esther commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress and then practicing practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to select or blend methods that match their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit consistent work into busy lives and allow continued momentum when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools to each online format so progress and practical skill-building continue across sessions.
