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 experience. She is licensed in Connecticut and in Maryland and focuses on relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Esther also lists work with LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and blended family issues among her focus areas.
She takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions start by listening to what matters most and identifying small, practical steps. Esther draws on techniques from attachment work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior approaches and existential thinking when relevant.
Clients can expect clear goals and direct conversation about what helps day to day. Esther often focuses on communication habits, boundary questions, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or change. She pays attention to how past relationships affect current choices and feelings.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults facing relationship strain and life transitions. In session she works at a steady pace, balancing emotional discussion with concrete coping skills. The emphasis is on practical progress rather than labels.
Esther offers work in English and holds professional credentials in family therapy across two states. People considering therapy are encouraged to review her online options and complete the initial questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. Online sessions using this approach help identify repeated interaction cycles and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT techniques are used to track patterns, test new ways of thinking, and try practical behavior changes between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment work, CBT, or DBT tools fit their situation best. That choice is based on goals, current challenges, and what the person prefers to try in session.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, evening meetings, or avoiding travel to an office are common benefits. Remote sessions also let people use tools like thought records, in-the-moment grounding exercises, and homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
