About Ellen

Ellen Loveless is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and family concerns.

Her work emphasizes practical steps and steady support for people who have decided to seek help. Ellen keeps sessions warm and interactive. She listens closely and helps clients set clear, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Her style balances respect and sensitivity with direct problem-solving. People can expect a calm, steady presence and focused conversation about what matters most to them. Her background includes long-term practice with a wide range of problems, including panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and relationship communication problems.

She draws on methods that teach skills for daily life and improve emotional connection. Treatment aims to reduce immediate distress and build coping tools for the future. Ellen uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also works from Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles to improve bonding and communication in relationships. These approaches are combined to match the needs of each person. Sessions are available in English and are offered through a variety of online formats.

Ellen supports conversations about money and career stress, forgiveness, control issues, and domestic violence when clients bring these topics up. Her practice focuses on steady help and practical progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead. The therapist creates a respectful space and helps the client name priorities. This approach is useful for parents and individuals who need room to set the pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for stress, panic, and depressive symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment is collaborative and can mix techniques as needed.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls and phone sessions let people meet face to face without travel. Live chat and text-based messaging add flexibility for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help maintain continuity of care and make regular support more practical for everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
