About Ellen
Ellen Daniels is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and depression. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Ellen speaks plainly and listens closely to what feels most important to each person.
She begins by learning where a person is now and what they want to change. Sessions are collaborative and practical.
Background and approach
Ellen uses clear tools and simple exercises so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings. Her work draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, panic, and managing strong emotions. Ellen pays attention to the stories people bring, including themes of loss, abandonment, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and isolation. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and control issues while exploring what gives life meaning and direction.
Practical steps and honest conversation are emphasized over labels. People often come for help with addiction, communication problems, divorce or separation, and mood concerns. Ellen helps clients set reachable goals and build steady routines.
She supports small changes that add up to clearer thinking and steadier days.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment. It emphasizes listening, reflecting back what is heard, and helping clients find their own solutions to stress, grief, and relationship struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and offers concrete steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Ellen will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative rhythm makes it easier to see what helps and what needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
