About Esther
Esther Lowery is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of practice, licensed in Connecticut and Maryland. She works with adults on relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Esther also supports people facing issues related to ADHD, grief, eating concerns, and identity questions in the context of relationships.
Esther approaches therapy from relationship and attachment perspectives. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice the ways early family roles and expectations still affect current choices. Sessions focus on practical changes in how people relate, communicate, and set boundaries.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are part of the work when people need specific skills for mood, impulse control, or managing intense emotions. She mixes problem-solving and skill building with longer conversations about values and meaning when that fits the concern.
Esther pays attention to family of origin issues such as patterns of closeness, expectations, and repeating roles across generations. She helps clients identify those patterns and test different ways of acting in relationships.
Her style treats clients as the experts on their lives. Sessions tend to combine straightforward skill teaching, reflective discussion, and planning for real-world changes. People are invited to set practical goals and try experiments between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Esther uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationships shape present-day patterns. This approach helps people see recurring roles and try new ways of relating when they feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work; it emphasizes listening closely to a person’s own goals and reflecting what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when specific thinking patterns or behaviors need to change, offering concrete tools for mood and behavior management.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Esther treats the selection of methods as collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as progress and preferences become clear.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. Some formats avoid video when bandwidth is limited, while others use live conversation for skill teaching and role practice. Discussing practical needs up front helps shape sessions that fit everyday life.
