Starting Self-esteem counseling

What is self-esteem counseling?

Self-esteem counseling is a therapeutic technique that works to improve an individual’s self-esteem and, through that, their overall mental health. Self-esteem counselors will help clients discover the roots of their poor self-esteem and work with them to build it back up and improve their quality of life.

How does self-esteem counseling work?

Self-esteem counseling works by addressing thought or behavioral patterns that may be connected to an individual’s low self-esteem and adjusting them to be more helpful and uplifting. Through this process, Thriveworks therapists in Lynchburg will help clients better understand the reasons behind their low self-esteem and learn to effectively address those reasons, both in therapy and on their own.

Is self-esteem counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks self-esteem counseling in Lynchburg, VA is conducted both in person and virtually through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does self-esteem counseling last?

On average, self-esteem counseling can last around 12 sessions. However, the needs and symptoms of each client will always vary, which means that the duration of counseling will differ as well. Some may find they only require a few sessions, while others might prefer to stay in counseling on an ongoing basis.

Need more help deciding?

Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Do you lack confidence in social settings? Have you ever felt that you are unlovable or that you are undeserving of affection?

These feelings are common signs of low self-esteem. If you said “Yes” to any of these statements, you’re not alone—and a self-esteem therapist can help.

How Do I Know If I Have Low Self-Esteem?

Many indicators suggest that a person has low self-esteem, including:

  • Intense pressure to please others
  • An overwhelming desire to maintain a particular appearance
  • Perfectionism
  • Anxiety or fear in social settings
  • Difficulty making decisions
  • Being overly-defensive
  • Body language (crossed arms or legs, lack of eye contact)
  • Compensating or apologizing for your weaknesses
  • Self-destructive behaviors (cutting, bullying, eating disorders)

At Thriveworks Lynchburg self-esteem counseling, we can help you gain the confidence you need to succeed. We can help you overcome the feelings of inadequacy that have left you depressed, humiliated, isolated, and hopeless.

Our trained counselors are ready to help you prepare for the negative attacks of low self-esteem and find the confidence you need to become the person you always dreamed you could be.

It was so difficult to find a therapist my daughter liked. So glad I made the initial call to Thriveworks. She was matched to a therapist that she finally talks to! She liked her so much that now my oldest daughter and I use her therapist as well. We love Lora!

Kim is the absolute best counselor! She is very kind and caring and adapts to whatever works best for you personally. She does not use the typical counselor answers or “by the book” responses. She talks to you like you are a real person. She always make me feel like the things that I am going through are important and the feelings are valid. She provides a completely judgement free zone to talk about anything that is needed. She understands that things take time and she does not force you to talk about anything. She allows you to process in your own time. She has a way of working with me that allows me to fully trust her. Kim has a heart of Gold! You can tell throughout your sessions with her that this is more than just a job for her. You feel legitimately cared for by her. You can tell that she genuinely wants to help you to move through the things that are holding you back in life. She’s very encouraging and reassuring. Her genuine compassion and encouragement helps me feel like I am actually important and deserving of growth. I would highly recommend Kim as your counselor if you are looking for someone who will make you feel valued and heard and not like you are just another name on their client list! She has definitely made a huge impact on my life!

Working with Dr. Tiffany Stephens has been so helpful! She is very approachable, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about concerns and circumstances. She can help think through problems and works toward a better outlook and teaching real skills that help toward calmness and strength in the midst of complicated issues. She helps teach courage to be vulnerable in the moment, so I can learn patterns and work at replacing them with more healthy ones— her style of preparing clients to approach things differently makes all the difference when difficulty arises. I feel safe and confident (but not tight and overly-clinical) when talking with her. I absolutely recommend working with her if you are working toward a better you!

Bryan Hunsley has been a great help in providing counseling to myself and my husband! He begins our ZOOM sessions on time. Bryan is great at his job in that he is easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. His feedback is even tempered (appropriate, positive and welcoming), plus clear and easy to understand. My husband and I feel that Bryan provides sensitive care and treats us both with ultimate respect! He is flexible in that he can easily switch gears according to the urgency of our needs for any particular session and is quick to offer any needed support between sessions. He provides a professional high quality of care that is also relaxing and informative. I am more than satisfied with his services being provided and find myself looking forward to the next session! Bryan has and continues to strengthen our marital wellness with his superb counseling expertise!
