About Ellen

Ellen Loveless is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 28 years of experience. She blends a compassionate, faith-aware stance with practical therapy to help people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Ellen speaks plainly and listens closely so clients feel heard from the first session.

She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals at the center of care. That means sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most to them. Ellen also draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused ideas to shape clear steps when those fit a person’s needs.

Her style is warm and interactive. She practices active listening and offers respectful, sensitive support. Sessions emphasize practical strategies for coping, improved communication, and working toward personal goals.

Ellen has worked with a wide range of concerns including family and relationship difficulties, career stress, bipolar and other mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and issues around money and life purpose. She also addresses commitment and control issues, forgiveness, and the effects of seasonal mood changes.

She welcomes conversations about what someone hopes to change and helps them choose focused steps. People who prefer a collaborative, values-aware counselor may find this approach helpful when navigating life’s transitions.

How these approaches can be used online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what matters. It helps when someone needs a space to sort values, grief, or major life choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and suggests practical techniques to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ellen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as goals change so therapy stays relevant and focused.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue working toward goals from different locations while keeping the same licensed professional guiding the process.
