About Esther
Esther Lowery is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Maryland and Connecticut with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career stress.
Esther uses practical, person-focused conversation to help people untangle recurring patterns. She listens for attachment and communication habits that keep old tensions alive. Then she offers tools and strategies from cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.
She brings attachment-based thinking into sessions to explore how past relationships shape present responses. That approach helps people understand why they may feel stuck in intimacy or drift into resentful behavior. Existential perspectives are used to look at values, meaning, and choices when life changes feel disorienting.
Sessions emphasize clear skills and small experiments outside the therapy room. Clients learn ways to soften anger, rebuild trust, and express needs without escalating conflict. Esther also works on building confidence and practical coping steps for day-to-day pressures.
Her work is straightforward and collaborative. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and focuses on concrete steps that can change patterns over weeks and months. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect anger and distance. Online sessions can be used to notice interaction habits and rehearse different responses to reduce reactive behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anger cycling. In an online session Esther can guide short exercises, thought records, and practical experiments to test new ways of responding between meetings. DBT brings specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills suit people who want concrete tools to lower intensity and repair conversations after conflict. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Esther will discuss the options and tailor the mix of attachment exploration, CBT work, or DBT skills based on a person’s goals and preferences. She helps clients pick the methods that fit their daily life. Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-in sessions when days are hectic, or avoid travel time. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.Areas of expertise
