About Ellen
Ellen Loveless is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, career questions, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. Her background includes a long practice that has emphasized Christian counseling alongside common therapeutic methods.
She uses client-centered and solution-focused approaches that focus on what the person wants to change. Sessions involve active listening and collaborating on practical steps to manage symptoms and day-to-day problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when helpful to address patterns of thinking and behavior.
Ellen often supports people coping with family conflict, communication problems, commitment concerns, control issues, and the impacts of trauma or domestic violence. She also works with mood disorders, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, and money or financial stress as life circumstances influence mental health.
Her style is interactive and respectful, aiming to help people identify small, workable steps toward clearer decisions or better coping. She brings nearly three decades of experience to those conversations and draws on several therapeutic methods to match the client's needs.
People who are considering life purpose or bigger directional questions can use her experience with career and life-change concerns to clarify next steps. Sessions are conducted in English and organized from her New York practice. To begin, the site asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Ellen blends common approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's concerns and following their goals. It helps people who need time and space to name what matters and to make decisions about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and mood-related concerns where changing routine responses can reduce symptoms.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and talk about strong emotions and patterns in relationships. It can be useful when communication problems or attachment concerns are central to the issue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ellen will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and select methods collaboratively. That may mean starting with a problem-solving focus and adding CBT or EFT techniques as the work progresses.
