Self-Esteem Therapy

Lacking Self-Esteem?

Self-Esteem Therapy in Texas: Reconnecting with Your Worth

Low self-esteem can shape how you view yourself, how you engage in relationships, and how you show up in the world. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles of self-doubt, criticism, or never feeling “good enough,” you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Our sense of self-worth is shaped by many factors: early life experiences, relationships, identity, trauma, cultural messages, and more.

As a licensed online therapist serving clients across Texas, I offer virtual self-esteem therapy that helps you reconnect with your inherent worth. Whether you’re in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, or a rural Texas community, you can access professional, affirming care from the comfort of your space.

Self-esteem therapy is not about becoming “perfect” or constantly confident. It’s about learning to see yourself with compassion, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build a healthier relationship with who you are—one session at a time.

What Is Self-Esteem?

Self-esteem refers to how we evaluate ourselves—our sense of value, capabilities, and belonging. When your self-esteem is healthy, you’re more likely to:

  • Set boundaries and advocate for yourself

  • Trust your inner voice and decisions

  • Maintain meaningful relationships

  • Handle setbacks without spiraling

  • Pursue goals with confidence and resilience

But when self-esteem is low, it can manifest as:

  • Harsh inner criticism

  • Fear of failure or rejection

  • Perfectionism or people-pleasing

  • Difficulty setting boundaries

  • Shame, guilt, or imposter syndrome

  • Avoiding opportunities or social situations

These patterns can keep you from living a full and authentic life. If you’re reading this, it means you’re already taking a step toward something different—something kinder.

How I Support Clients with Self-Esteem Therapy

I take an eclectic and humanistic approach, integrating a variety of evidence-based methods to help you reconnect with your self-worth in a way that feels empowering and sustainable.

Narrative Therapy

Many clients carry stories about themselves rooted in past experiences: “I’m not enough,” “I always mess things up,” “I don’t belong.” Narrative therapy helps you examine and reshape those stories—centering your strengths, values, and voice instead.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Self-esteem is often impacted by distorted or negative thought patterns. With CBT, we identify those beliefs and develop practical tools to challenge them, reframe self-talk, and build confidence in your abilities and identity.

Mindfulness & Self-Compassion

Learning to be present with yourself—without judgment—is a powerful step toward healing. Mindfulness practices can help you notice self-critical thoughts without getting consumed by them, while self-compassion tools teach you to respond with care instead of criticism.

Existential Therapy

For clients grappling with questions of identity, meaning, or purpose, existential therapy provides space to explore who you are beyond roles or expectations—deepening your connection to your authentic self.

Gestalt & Inner Child Work

We often internalize limiting messages early in life. Together, we can explore how past experiences may still influence your sense of self today—and begin to reconnect with the parts of you that have always been worthy of love and respect.

Trauma-Informed Support

If your self-esteem is impacted by trauma, shame, or identity-based oppression, we’ll work gently to understand how those experiences shaped you—and how you can begin to reclaim your voice, safety, and confidence.

Affirming Therapy for All Identities

As someone with both lived and professional experience supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, I understand how self-esteem can be impacted by marginalization, rejection, or internalized shame. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating family dynamics, or seeking support in non-traditional relationships, you deserve to feel seen and affirmed in your therapeutic space.

I also work with clients facing grief, life transitions, perfectionism, and anxiety—all of which can intersect with self-esteem. In every case, our work together centers your values, your pace, and your lived experience.

Virtual Therapy Across Texas for Self-Esteem

One of the greatest barriers to therapy is accessibility—especially in rural or underserved parts of Texas. That’s why my practice is 100% virtual, offering online therapy to adults across Texas, including same-week openings and flexible hours Monday through Thursday.

Whether you’re seeking therapy from your home in Dallas, during your lunch break in Austin, or from a quiet space in West Texas, I’m here to support you. No commute, no stress—just consistent, confidential care designed around your needs.

You Deserve to Feel Good About Who You Are

You don’t have to prove your worth. You don’t have to carry the weight of harsh self-judgment alone. Together, we can explore where those beliefs came from, what’s no longer serving you, and how to build something new—something rooted in compassion, strength, and clarity.

Therapy won’t change everything overnight. But it can help you learn to trust yourself again, to feel more confident in your relationships and decisions, and to show up as your full self—without apology.

If you’re ready to begin, you can book a free 10-minute consultation or schedule your first session today. If you have questions, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to support the version of you that already exists—and is so worthy of being seen.
