About Esther
LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) Esther Steinberg has four years of clinical experience in Michigan. She works with common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
Esther uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps and talking through patterns that matter in day-to-day life. She aims to collaborate with each person to build a plan that fits their needs.
In practice she draws on CBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She uses Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in what the client brings. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at repeating patterns that affect mood and relationships.
Her background includes work in mental health and school settings, where she supported people facing mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues. That experience informs short- and longer-term work with stress, career concerns, and anger management.
Esther offers care in English and works with adults on a range of life and mental health concerns. If you want to try an initial session, follow the matching and scheduling steps to arrange a first appointment.

How Esther's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. In online sessions this means conversations that follow your concerns and priorities, with the therapist responding to what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes to see what helps. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood issues, and habit changes. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can be useful when relationship patterns or repeated emotional responses are a concern.Deciding which approach or combination to use is part of the work. Esther will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps match strategies to what the person wants to change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone use a phone session when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Practical scheduling choices are discussed during the initial matching and when arranging future sessions.
