“I work with adults of all ages, genders, and identities. Some identities that I especially focus on are people in multicultural/mixed race relationships or families, men (often seeking therapy for the first time), people who perform for a living (performing arts, athletes). I work with people on anxiety/OCD, relationship challenges, low self-worth, chronic illness burnout, sexual issues, childhood trauma, ADHD, spiritual issues, religious trauma, parenting, addiction, & men's issues.”

“I’m the therapist for couples who say, “We’re not in crisis…yet!” I help couples who are not falling apart, but can feel the distance growing–the tensions, the missed bids of connection, and are stuck in the “here we go again” fights that you just can’t seem to break. I love this work because I have seen what is possible when two people stop protecting themselves and start turning toward each other with compassion, accountability, and courage. That breakthrough moment–when they finally feel like teammates again–is why I show up for this work each day! The couples I work with often feel like: “We’re roommates, not partners!” The distance is growing, and they’re worried it may spiral out of control. They know there is real love here, but the closeness, playfulness, and vulnerability are missing. Career, kids, and stress are getting in the way of the intimacy they used to experience. They may wake up one day to find they have a successful career, but it came at the sacrifice of their marriage.”

“I work with adults who are used to holding a lot together, but feel overwhelmed beneath the surface. You may appear capable and high-functioning, yet internally feel anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that are hard to break. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and a constant pressure to “keep up” or get things right. There are often patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling responsible for others. You might find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like nothing you do is quite enough. Some clients are also navigating the impact of past experiences or relationship dynamics that continue to shape how they feel about themselves and others.”

I also work with couples who want to work on communication, meeting each other’s needs, and more deeply understanding one another.”

“You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships or daily life. Perhaps you’re navigating trauma, a difficult life transition, or carrying the impact of early experiences that continue to shape how you feel, cope, and connect with others. Often, these patterns are survival responses that developed in earlier environments where you had to adapt to cope. Therapy offers a space to understand these responses with compassion, make sense of where they come from, and begin creating more intentional ways of relating to yourself and others.”

LMHC, LSW

Licensed In:
Massachusetts
“I serve individuals (14+) and couples navigating challenges such as trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, and general feelings of dissatisfaction. In my work with couples, I recognize that communication is often a major barrier to connection. Many partners are also managing their own mental health needs, which can complicate interactions and contribute to misunderstandings. I provide a safe, supportive environment where both individuals can openly express their thoughts and emotions. Together, we explore the underlying dynamics affecting connection and work collaboratively on strategies to enhance mutual understanding and empathy. With individuals, I focus on self-discovery and skill-building. I support clients in developing personalized coping strategies that align with their unique experiences and mental health needs.”

“You're the person everyone calls when things fall apart. You anticipate problems, smooth over conflicts, and make everything look effortless. You're brilliant at reading rooms and managing other people's emotions. On paper, your life looks great. Inside, you're exhausted. The anxiety won't quit. You overthink every decision, say yes when you mean no, and intellectualize problems that need to be felt. You're the one everyone relies on, but you have no idea how to ask for help. Maybe you're the family's shock absorber – the easy child who learned your worth came from being helpful. Or you're supporting struggling adult children while losing yourself. Either way, you've built your identity around being competent, and it's exhausting. You know something has to change. You're ready to understand how you got here and what comes next.”

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.
