About Helen
Dr. Helen Green-Esterly is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss in her clinical work. Her practice centers on helping adults sort through pressing problems that are often tied to home life and relationships.
She helps people talk through difficult feelings and patterns. Sessions are practical and conversational. Helen listens for what matters most at home and suggests steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes a decade-plus of seeing adults with a wide range of concerns. These include depression, addictions, sleep and eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Helen has worked with people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic and phobias, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and co-occurring problems. She also has experience with communication problems, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) context, intellectual disability, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and veteran and armed forces issues.
In sessions she aims to build straightforward plans for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Meetings often include talking through specific situations, problem-solving, and short-term strategies to reduce distress. People leave with simple actions to try between appointments.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapies focus on clear techniques that address symptoms and daily problems. One common approach uses skills training and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. This involves learning small, repeatable techniques to lower arousal and change unhelpful routines.Another approach centers on processing trauma in a paced way, helping people name and tolerate strong memories while building coping strategies. That work often pairs memory processing with breathing and grounding skills to reduce panic and flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed over time.

Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
