About Esther
Esther Gosnell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Esther also addresses related problems such as abandonment, attachment questions, and caregiver stress.
Her approach centers on clear, practical conversation. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing - for example panic or persistent low mood - and on small steps that can make daily life easier. Esther uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR when they fit the situation.
Esther aims to be straightforward and respectful in sessions. She listens to what someone wants to change and helps them try different tools to get there. Work may include improving communication, handling guilt or shame, and reducing symptoms tied to trauma or dissociation.
Parents and partners often ask about managing care demands and codependency. Esther helps people sort priorities and set boundaries that are realistic for their lives. She also supports those coping with mood disorders, panic attacks, personality difficulties, and postpartum depression.
Esther offers her services in English and accepts clients internationally. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her clinical approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck after college or when worry keeps them from starting a new job. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. Those skills are useful for overwhelming anxiety, panic, or relationship conflict. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with trauma memories and strong emotional reactions, helping reduce the intensity of past events that continue to affect daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms and together decide which methods to try first. Plans can change as progress is made and different tools are introduced based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into school or work schedules, cut commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. Online sessions also make it easier to maintain continuity while traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, DBT, and EMDR techniques to remote sessions, focusing on practical skills, in-session processing, and collaborative planning.
