About Esther
Esther Lowery is a Maryland-based therapist who centers her work on Attachment-based therapy. She draws on 13 years of clinical experience to help people address relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Esther speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective that honors each person's story. Sessions focus on building stronger emotional connections, settling patterns that cause repeated hurt, and increasing practical coping skills.
Background and approach
Esther uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and manage intense emotions. Esther also works with people facing trauma, grief, eating concerns, and the stress of caregiving or compassion fatigue. She helps with attachment issues, abandonment wounds, and challenges tied to family of origin.
Her experience includes supporting people navigating major life choices, career strain, and relationship commitment questions. Esther holds an MD and is licensed as a clinical marriage and family therapist - LCMFT and LMFT. She offers sessions in English and practices in Maryland.
Her style is respectful, direct, and collaborative, focused on practical steps that fit each person's life. To begin, she encourages a simple first step: a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. That process helps match goals, logistics, and a plan for early progress.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions work to identify those patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and strengthen emotional awareness during conversations. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and the client's own goals; in remote sessions this means pacing the work to fit each person's comfort and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used online to set clear homework, practice skills between sessions, and track progress over time.Finding the right approach is a shared effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured, with adjustments made as work unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, skill practice, or times when writing feels easier. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress.
