About Ester
Ester Vinnik is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of professional experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, and with mood concerns like depression and struggles around self-esteem and motivation.
She focuses on practical, talk-based work. Sessions are a place to name what feels heavy and to try different ways of responding. Ester listens for what matters most to each person and helps them set small, achievable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier days.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help slow down intense feelings and motivational interviewing to clarify what someone wants to change. Solution-focused strategies are used to identify concrete next steps and build momentum.
People bring many issues to her work, including grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue, attachment and abandonment concerns, and relationship communication problems. She also supports those dealing with career questions, life transitions, and challenges linked to veterans or first responder experiences.
Ester practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting so they can see whether the approach fits. The format and cost details vary by location and subscription plan, and are confirmed during the sign-up process.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach center on listening, reflection, and helping the client name what matters most so goals can be set together.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and sensations without immediate reaction. Delivered remotely, these techniques can help when strong emotions arise, such as guilt, shame, or anxiety, by giving concrete ways to slow down and respond differently.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adapt over time based on what the client finds helpful and practical.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit work with life - for example, a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time when days are full. They can also allow focused, structured work such as brief solution-focused meetings or guided mindfulness practice that fit into a weekly routine.
