More about me

Licensing: LPC Years in Practice: 31 State: Virginia

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and have been in a private practice for over 25 years. I work with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, ADHD, and traumatic experiences (physical, emotional, and sexual). Family conflicts and relationship issues are also a focus of my practice.

My approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and rational emotive behavior therapy. I often coordinate mindfulness, insight-oriented approaches, and storytelling in my sessions, depending on an individual’s uniqueness.

My primary goal is to develop a therapeutic relationship built on trust. I believe that the client’s motivation is key to success and that all motivation must start with a destination, chosen by the client. I see myself just as a facilitator, guiding the client towards that destination.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Ms. Reynolds has been very helpful. She encourages me to focus on the moment and has given me excellent effective tools to control my anxiety. She is more focused on how to handle the emotions than on figuring out why they are there. This allows me to correct my present rather than wallow in the past. My quality and enjoyment of life are so much better since employing the techniques she has taught me. I am so glad I found her.

Esther has been amazing. Listening and allowing me to understand and get to realizations about my past present and future that I have spent so many years not understanding. She has been kind and caring and firm when necessary but most importantly, she has allowed me to express all and any emotion that I’ve had some that I didn’t know I had and allowed me to feel them completely and walked me through them and helped to understand why I may or may not have felt them and to let me know that each and every one of those big feelings were okay.

Esther is my first experience with Therapy/ Therapist. I had my reservations about online therapy going in to it. So happy I was matched with Esther. She is wise and knowledgable and her experience shows. She is easy to communicate with and compassionate and has a good sense of humor which I appreciate very much. In this short while( 5 weeks), Her many small but significant suggestions and directions have made a big difference to my mental wellbeing. I look forward to my sessions with her.

Esther has been such a big help with me breaking down my trauma. I’ve learned tools to accept things I can’t control and correct what is in my control. I’ve learned the importance of self care/love. She has made it easier to face the hard emotions. She will be upfront with you in the most loving and respectful way because she genuinely cares to help her patients improve and find peace. If you are truly ready to heal I would highly recommend Esther.

I personally feel really lucky I was matched with Esther, who I have been working with for two months. Upon joining BetterHelp, I had sought for a therapist with an Asian background, and that made a world of difference as Esther easily empathises with and understands the importance and impact of cultural influences on what I was going through. I was surprised by how fast Esther helped me find resolve and healing. I was bracing myself for a prolonged recovery period, but I saw improvements within a few weeks, and at the one month mark I had a breakthrough. She equipped me with the ability to reframe my mindset and thought habits, and develop the mental resilience I had set to achieve. I was able to better manage and improve my mental and emotional health. Esther is always non-judgemental, patient, and a great listener - and observing the way she listens has also inadvertently taught me how to become a better listener as well. She made the whole therapy process really comfortable. I highly recommend her. I am forever grateful for everything you have done for me!

It’s truly rare to find an Asian counselor on BetterHelp so when I found Esther, I was super excited. Esther understood my needs right away and was great at listening, asking questions, diagnosing my issues, and acknowledging when she doesn’t understand something. She knows that Asian Americans face lots of complex issues and empathizes well. Highly recommend!
