I work primarily with trauma survivors and neurodivergent women/female identified clients who are navigating depression, life transitions, burnout, perinatal mental health or identity shifts. I’m especially passionate about supporting parents, caretakers, perfectionists, and folks deconstructing from rigid or harmful belief systems.”

Self Compassion Counseling

LCPC

Licensed In:
Illinois
“If you have spent years putting others first, as a high-achiever, a people-pleaser, or a caregiver who keeps showing up for everyone else while quietly running on empty, you are exactly who I work with. I specialize in working with women who have recently experienced a breakup or divorce and are exploring their sexuality, rebuilding their sense of self, and navigating new relationships. They are often afraid of being a burden to others, struggle to prioritize their own needs, or have spent years putting their partner’s needs before their own. They’re ready to make changes so they don’t repeat the same patterns, especially if they’ve often betrayed their own needs to keep the peace, maintain a relationship, or avoid disappointing others. Together, we can explore what they want from their relationships and their lives, while learning to trust themselves and honor their needs without the guilt.”

Hilary Tarkington Stowers

Holistic Health and Nutrition, LLC

NCC, RiC, Grief Counselor

Licensed In:
Virginia
“I work with adults, primarily women. These are people who have put so many others first, neglecting their own needs & self-care. Finally, she is ready to prioritize herself, and may even feel guilty for doing so. Clients may be in the sandwich generation, caring for elderly parents and dealing with caregiver fatigue and anticipatory grief. She could be experiencing issues with an adult child, including navigating estrangement. The client could be a high-functioning co-dependent. She is often an over-achiever. She may be exiting a relationship with a narcissistic/toxic partner, and rediscovering herself while learning how to parallel parent. She may have lost a spouse, parent, or child, and needs support in her grief journey. This client may need to address childhood trauma, and explore attachment wounds/styles. She wants to find her voice, and establish & maintain healthy boundaries.”

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.
