About Esther
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 10 years of experience, Esther Gosnell helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem difficulties. She works with adults who are dealing with intense emotions or life transitions and offers methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work.
Esther focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions include listening, reflecting, and teaching skills you can try between meetings. She uses techniques that address thoughts, bodily reactions, and behaviors, depending on what a person needs in the moment.
Her approach often blends short-term coping tools with deeper processing when needed. For example, she may teach grounding and emotion-regulation skills alongside work that addresses traumatic memories. She also helps people sort relationship patterns like codependency, attachment concerns, and communication problems.
Esther pays attention to how caregiving roles and first responder stress affect daily life. She supports people facing postpartum mood shifts, persistent panic, or ongoing mood disorder symptoms by focusing on manageable steps and repeated practice.
People who work with her can expect a collaborative process. Together they set targets, try what works, and adjust plans if something isn’t helpful. The emphasis is on clear strategies and steady progress rather than long, abstract explanations.

How Esther uses specific approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for ongoing anxiety, stress, and finding direction after major life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for panic, mood instability, and patterns of reactive behavior.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories. In session it involves guided processing that can help with trauma and abuse reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods to try based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress is tracked.
Confirm the current session options before booking since this profile does not list explicit formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to maintain regular work on skills and symptoms while adapting session length and frequency to what suits a person’s schedule.
