About self-esteem therapy for people in Long Beach
Everyone listed on this page holds a licence to practise in California and works online. That matters more than it sounds: a licence is issued by the state, not by a city, so a therapist is available to anyone in California regardless of how far away they are. Someone in Long Beach can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
1,979 therapists match this page, all of whom name self-esteem among the areas they work with. Fifteen are shown above. The list changes between pages, so it is worth looking at more than one if none of these feels like a fit.
What to compare
- Credential. LMFT, LCSW and LPCC are different training routes to the same licensed practice. None outranks the others; they shape emphasis rather than quality.
- Years in practice. Shown for every therapist here. More experience is not automatically better, but it is a fair proxy for how much of a given problem someone has seen.
- What else they work with. A therapist whose other focus areas overlap with your situation is usually a better starting point than one whose listed areas stop at the single thing you searched for.
- Approach. CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused and the rest describe how sessions tend to run. If you have tried therapy before and it did not suit you, changing approach is often more useful than changing therapist.
- Language. Shown where a therapist offers sessions in more than English.
How online sessions work
Sessions run by video or by messaging, arranged through our partner platform rather than booked directly with the therapist. There is no travel and no waiting room, which for most people is the difference between starting and not starting. Pricing is set by the platform and shown before you commit.
Therapy in Long Beach
Long Beach has a population of about 466,742. Local in-person availability varies and waiting lists are common, which is part of why state-wide online practice has grown. Nothing on this page depends on a therapist being near you.
Common questions
How do I know which therapists on this page focus specifically on self-esteem issues?
Look for therapists who explicitly list self-esteem, self-worth, or confidence work in their profiles. Read about their approaches—CBT, compassion-focused therapy, or schema therapy often address self-beliefs. Note any examples of common concerns they treat, such as negative self-talk, perfectionism, or social confidence, and choose ones whose descriptions match your priorities.
Can I work with a therapist on this list if I live in Long Beach but want online sessions only?
Yes. Each therapist here is licensed in California, which allows them to offer services to clients across the state. If a profile mentions availability to clients in Long Beach, that means they can provide online sessions to you there. Confirm scheduling and platform details directly with the therapist before booking.
What should I ask a therapist before starting therapy for low self-esteem?
Ask about their typical approach to self-esteem work, how they measure progress, and what short-term goals might look like. Inquire about the kinds of exercises or homework they use, their experience with issues like shame or social anxiety, and whether they’ve worked with clients who share your background or identity.
