“I work with teens and adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, unseen, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients have been told they’re “too sensitive,” feel pressure to please others, or are exhausted from carrying others’ expectations. I support individuals who replay past experiences, struggle with guilt or people-pleasing, or want to feel like themselves again. I offer an affirming space to explore childhood experiences, religious influences, ADHD, chronic stress, identity, and new ways of relating to emotions and relationships.”

Amber Teubert

Serenity Therapy, LLC

LMHC, LPC, LCPC, LPCC

Licensed In:
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
“So many of the adults I work with are high-functioning on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. Anxiety has become a constant companion. Something from the past still shows up in unexpected ways, affecting relationships, sense of safety, or how they see themselves. And no matter what they accomplish, it never feels like enough. If you're hard on yourself, caught in cycles of perfectionism, or carrying more than you let on, you're not alone. I work with adults navigating anxiety, healing from trauma, and untangling the belief that their worth depends on what they produce or how perfectly they perform. My approach is warm and collaborative, and I'll meet you exactly where you are.”

Pacific Relational Therapy

LMFT

Licensed In:
California
“I love working with clients who are desperate to have lasting love in their lives, but feel like they sacrifice their identities just to fit in. I help adults who feel like they have never belonged find the relationships they have been craving.​ You deserve to feel loved whether you struggle with relationship OCD, cultural or gender dysphoria, LGBTQ+ community drama, non-monogamy isolation, chronic illness, or just straight-up trauma from being told you are too much of a burden to deserve love. Together, we’ll help you find your voice, build relationships where you feel seen, and ask for what you need. I have a history in queer sex-ed, polyamory counseling, and couples therapy. I have done premarital counseling, relationship OCD, and social anxiety work. I work with the little (and sometimes big) voice in the back of your brain saying you aren't good enough. I'm Asian American, biracial, and third-culture, and utilize a collectivist approach.”

Kylie Rogan

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

LICSW

Licensed In:
Massachusetts
“My ideal client is someone who is ready and motivated to dive in head first into their healing journey. Someone who knows they have their “stuff” but really wants to explore where it all stems from. I love working with those clients who just trying to figure it all out in this life (I see you, Millennials) and who are navigating the transitions and curveballs that can be thrown our way. I love meeting the client where they’re at to begin with, but don’t be surprised when I push you a little bit. I’ve been told that I have a really great way of understanding mental health, but I’m also known not to sugar coat the realities.”

Finding support for Self Esteem

Start with the state where you will physically be during sessions, then review provider profiles for experience with self-esteem, confidence, shame, perfectionism, or relationship patterns. You can narrow your search by insurance, language, age group, and modality. If you want one-on-one support, individual therapy is often a strong place to begin.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy for Self-Esteem

How do I use this page to find an online therapist to help with self-esteem?

Start with the state where you will physically be during sessions, then review provider profiles for experience with self-esteem, confidence, shame, perfectionism, or relationship patterns. You can narrow your search by insurance, language, age group, and modality. If you want one-on-one support, individual therapy is the best place to begin.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask what kinds of self-esteem concerns they commonly help with, what online sessions are like, and how they approach goals such as confidence, boundaries, or self-worth. It also helps to ask about fees, insurance, session frequency, and availability. If your concerns connect to anxiety, trauma, relationships, or eating disorder issues, ask whether they treat those concerns too.

Does my online therapist have to live in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

Your therapist does not have to live in your state, but they need to be licensed for the state where you are physically located during each session. That is why travel can affect whether they can meet with you. Before booking, check the provider’s policy and whether they practice across states. If you travel frequently or split time between states, you can also browse therapists licensed in multiple states.

Does insurance cover online therapy for self-esteem, and how does payment usually work?

Many providers accept insurance for online therapy, but coverage depends on your plan, the provider, and the kind of service you receive. Some providers are in-network, while others offer private pay and may give you paperwork for out-of-network reimbursement. Before you book, check the session fee, copay, deductible, cancellation policy, and whether benefits differ for virtual care.

What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?

Most online therapy appointments work best in a private location with a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is often ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Many sessions happen by video, but phone calls, secure messaging, texting, or email may also be used depending on the provider and service. Providers may also have policies about where sessions can take place, so check ahead if privacy or location may be an issue.

When is online therapy for self-esteem not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be a poor fit if virtual sessions feel too distracting or unsafe in your current environment. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

What types of telehealth services are available for self-esteem?

The best fit depends on what is affecting your self-esteem. Individual therapy is common for personal patterns, self-criticism, and confidence building. Child or teen therapy can help younger clients with bullying, identity, or school stress. Couples counseling, family therapy, and group therapy may also be helpful when relationships strongly affect self-worth.

How do I know if a therapist is a good fit for self-esteem concerns?

Look for a provider whose profile mentions self-esteem directly or related concerns such as perfectionism, shame, social anxiety, body image, people-pleasing, or difficult relationships. A good fit also depends on whether you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being honest. Many people know after the first few sessions whether the provider’s style feels supportive, practical, and aligned with their goals.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
