About Helen
Helen Littrell is a psychologist licensed in Colorado (CO Psychologist PSY.0005583) and Ohio (OH Psychologist P.08644) with ten years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also includes chronic pain and illness, communication problems, workplace issues, gender dysphoria, and questions about life purpose.
She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take when they feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health. Conversations tend to center on what is happening now and which small shifts could make daily life more manageable.
Helen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, motivation, and coping. She helps people talk through grief and loss, navigate ending-of-life concerns, and manage feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation. When chronic illness or pain affects functioning, she works with clients on strategies to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens for patterns that keep people feeling stuck and suggests experiments to test different ways of responding. The goal is to leave sessions with a clearer next step rather than with abstract advice.
Helen offers services in English and practices from Ohio. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Helen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, coping, and life transitions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. These methods can help with low mood, worry, and motivation by breaking problems into manageable steps.Behavioral strategies involve setting small goals, building routines, and practicing new skills between sessions. This approach often helps with depression, chronic pain management, and rebuilding confidence through concrete actions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Helen collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She will review which methods to try and adjust them based on what works in practice.
