About Esther Guilhot
Drawing on a range of evidence-informed methods, she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and new coping strategies learned. Her work addresses issues such as parenting struggles, intimacy-related concerns, grief and loss, career problems, ADHD and the emotional impacts of caregiving. Esther also works with people facing abandonment and attachment wounds, impulsivity and control issues, and the fallout of divorce or family conflict.
Esther speaks from personal experience of childhood and adult relational trauma, AuDHD, alcohol-related challenges and burnout, and she now lives in recovery with greater wellbeing. That lived perspective informs her collaborative, empowerment-focused approach as she helps people clarify values, build skills and move toward the life they want to live.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and develop practical ways to move toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts and feelings arise. It is often useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape present relationships and emotional responses, helping with issues like intimacy, abandonment concerns and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines links between thoughts, emotions and behaviors, teaching concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms and address unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Esther works with each person to understand their goals, preferences and needs, and together they tailor a blend of methods that fit the individual’s situation rather than applying a single fixed model. This flexible, partnership-based approach helps ensure therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving or geographic constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while adapting to each person’s lifestyle and needs.
