About Esther
Esther Bold is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with 20 years of clinical experience based in Alaska. She works with adults on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use day to day to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Esther writes plainly with clients about what is happening in their lives. She helps people notice patterns that keep anger and resentment alive. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and the wear of chronic illness or pain.
Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change thinking that fuels strong emotions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Esther also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in trauma work when appropriate. She pays attention to life-stage issues like aging and blended family dynamics, and practical problems such as communication breakdowns or substance use concerns.

How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. It helps when anger ties back to feelings of abandonment, mistrust, or unmet needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can articulate goals and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety running, offering concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and decide what to try first. Over time they adjust methods based on what is helpful, combining skills-based work with deeper relationship-focused exploration when needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients have more time for practice between sessions. Therapists can use skills coaching, guided thinking exercises, and trauma-focused protocols adapted for remote delivery to keep sessions focused and practical.
