Is the treatment for self-esteem issues & anxiety the same for neuroatypicals as for neurotypicals or is it treated a different way? Can it be detremental to neuroatypicals if there is a difference.

The goals are the same and likely the techniques too, but I think it is important to "know your audience".
A task that's merely "uncomfortable" to NTs, could be painful or extremely frustrating to NDs.
Therapists attempting to help need to be aware of this so they can customize their approach for the person.

Just my opinions though.
