CBT is one form of therapy that can be useful for treating selfrelated concerns, such as selfesteem. Your psychologist can conduct an assessment and create a treatment plan that addresses your particular concerns. I suggest letting them know you would like to improve your selfesteem so they can individualize your treatment plan with that in mind. Treatment may include components of CBT, or may be entirely CBTbased.

Hello Sir, 

Yes it does. So does Hypnotherapy. I would recommend a book titled "Self Esteem" that you may want to read. 
Take care and remain safe.

Good morning,

Thank you for your question.
Yes, very much so. CBT includes self statements, challenging previous thoughts and perceptions, and establishing new thoughts and behaviors that are positive. For people who have low self-esteem, they have often experienced past relationships, parenting, and experiences that make them feel not worthy. CBT helps and doing previous cognitive distortions, which I referred to as brain lies.
