“I love working with young adults, adults, couples, and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, spirituality, intimacy struggles, life transitions, and more.”
“Adults only; startup to private organizations; life transitions; career/professional high performing professionals; trauma counseling and support; athletes; medical professionals; executive staff; organizational boards; churches; community engagement”
“Teens, Adolescents, Young Adults and Adults”
“You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside while quietly feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside. Perhaps you’re successful but exhausted from constantly pushing yourself, caught in patterns you can’t seem to break, or struggling with anxiety, shame, self-doubt, perfectionism, or relationship challenges. I specialize in helping adults who are experiencing the lasting effects of trauma and adverse childhood experiences. I also work with couples who want to rebuild trust, improve communication, deepen their connection, or break free from patterns that keep them stuck.”
“Do you want to feel confident in yourself & your relationship with loved ones? Maybe you're a self identified perfectionist or people pleaser, struggle to say no or express yourself. You try to keep the peace, so you avoid conflict, put others first, & are stuck in a vicious cycle of bottling your emotions at the cost of internal peace. Only so much can be swept under the rug before it seeps out in other ways: Often anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Together we will process the past to build a better future. From family to intimate partners, friendships, & most importantly the relationship with yourself, I am here to help.”
“Many of the couples I work with feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift, having the same arguments on repeat, feeling emotionally out of sync, or carrying the invisible labor of maintaining a shared life while sensing a growing distance. You may notice that the intimacy, ease, or sense of “us” that you once had feels harder to access lately, or that work, family, and responsibilities leave little space for real connection. If you’ve been wondering where that closeness has gone, you are far from alone. I specialize in helping couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and find their way back to each other.”
“I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions. I support clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, helping them build coping skills and regain a sense of balance. I also work with clients who are athletes, and support them with the unique mental health challenges that come from sports and high-pressure environments. I also support clients with managing ADHD, offering practical strategies to improve focus, organization, and daily functioning. Additionally, I help individuals through life transitions such as school, career changes, and increased responsibilities.”
“Gabriela specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating the complexities of complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and intense emotional cycles. With a clinical background from The Menninger Clinic and UT Health, she provides a compassionate, trauma-informed space to help clients heal from the past and quiet a hypervigilant nervous system. As a bilingual, mixed-race Latina, Gabriela offers relatable, evidence-based support in both English and Spanish to help individuals move from a state of survival toward a life of safety, ease, and secure connection.”
“Do you feel anxious, sad, worried, overwhelmed, or stressed? Do you have difficulty coping with life challenges? Do you find getting through the day to day activities of life more strenuous lately? It can be isolating to not only feel painful emotions, but difficult to relate to those in our lives when we’re not feeling like ourselves, leaving us feeling more alone. That’s where therapy can help. I’m a therapist who listens, seeks to understand your experience, and supports you with tools to help you feel better. I’m a CBT Certified Beck Clinician and EMDR trained; two well-researched modalities with proven results.”
“As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and licensed therapist, I'm dedicated to providing a holistic, collaborative, supportive space where you can feel fully heard and seen as you move through your healing process. I work with creatives, techies, overthinkers, empaths, LGBTQ+ folx and Allies living with chronic stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or PTSD.”
“Many times people come to me with some area they are feeling stuck or are struggling with strong feelings that are hard to understand or control. I specialize in trauma and use somatic based practices to help people move from stress reactions to regulated responses. I've been in private practice over 12 years and provide supervision and support for clinicians navigating life/work balance. I also facilitate peer supervision with two groups of clinicians. Symptoms and Diagnoses help guide our treatment, but are not the whole picture. I believe in listening to our bodies natural intelligence, to understand the reason you are experiencing symptoms and identify how to get to the root of the issue.”
“I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), relationship concerns, and women's mental health needs. I also support clients who may be seeking greater understanding of themselves, their emotions, relationships, and the challenges affecting their daily lives.”
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.
Browse another specialty or explore providers by location and type of care. If you travel or live in more than one state, review your options for continuing care across locations.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
