About Esther
Esther Priegue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address depression and low mood.

Background and approach
Esther uses clear, goal-oriented techniques so people can see small changes add up. Her work draws on methods that teach coping skills, emotion regulation, and step-by-step problem solving. That can mean practicing new thought patterns, learning tools for intense feelings, or setting simple goals to improve routines and sleep.
Esther speaks English and Spanish and has a broad background helping people with grief, caregiving and end-of-life issues, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, family of origin concerns, and issues around identity and commitment. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
How Esther's Methods Work Online
Esther commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Esther talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggests methods to try together. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so techniques fit the person’s life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
