About Esther
Esther Bold is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience working with adults in Alaska. She draws on a long clinical history to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, and trauma. Esther aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away.
Esther focuses on building a clear sense of what matters to each person. She listens for how early relationships show up now and uses that information to help people feel less stuck.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses depression, parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and career stress. She blends attachment-based perspectives with client-centered care and proven skills-based methods. That means sessions can include talking through patterns, practicing behavior changes, and learning ways to manage intense emotions.
EMDR and DBT tools are available when trauma processing or emotion regulation is needed. Esther pays attention to life context, including chronic illness, blended family issues, and first responder stress. She also supports people facing abandonment, codependency, divorce, or substance use challenges.
The focus is on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and take place online via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Esther works with each person to set goals and pick approaches that fit their needs and daily life.

Online support
How attachment and skills work in online therapy
Esther uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions. This approach helps people understand why they repeat certain patterns and supports learning new ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, respect, and following the person's own pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Esther discusses goals, symptoms, and preferences with each person and then recommends techniques that match their needs. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time as progress is seen.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
