About Ellen
Ellen has particular experience supporting individuals coping with life-changing physical illness, injury, chronic pain, and disability, along with caregiver stress and aging-related concerns. She brings sensitive, empathetic listening to each session and aims to help clients process grief, manage anger and anxiety, and develop practical coping strategies for everyday challenges. Her work also covers issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, and compassion fatigue.
Clinically, Ellen draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to create a collaborative, respectful therapeutic environment. As an LPC - a licensed professional counselor - she helps clients explore goals, build self-compassion, and find workable pathways toward acceptance, coping, and change. Ellen approaches each person as an individual and tailors support to fit their needs and circumstances.
Client-Centered and Motivational Support Online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client as the expert in their own life. In this approach Ellen offers empathic listening, acceptance, and reflective feedback to help people explore feelings, clarify values, and build stronger self-understanding. It is often helpful for stress, relationship concerns, and life adjustments where personal insight and emotional processing are important.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find their own reasons for change. Ellen uses this approach to support shifts in behavior related to addictions, health challenges, career changes, or other goals that feel difficult to begin or sustain.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ellen works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, those managing health or mobility concerns, and anyone who benefits from connecting from a familiar setting. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity of care, and access consistent support regardless of daily demands.
