About Ellen

Ellen Daniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 28 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Ellen works directly with adults to address these concerns using approaches she practices, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential and Jungian perspectives, and Mindfulness techniques.

Ellen structures sessions so clients can talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. She emphasizes clear communication and practical steps people can try between meetings. Sessions include reflection on patterns, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and practicing mindful attention to emotional reactions.

Her work often includes addressing related problems such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and communication difficulties. She also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, substance use problems, fatherhood issues, guilt, shame, and loneliness. Ellen incorporates discussion of life purpose and mood changes when relevant.

In practice she uses client-centered conversations to understand each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to find specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Mindfulness methods help with grounding and reducing reactivity in the moment.

Ellen has spent nearly three decades in clinical roles and brings that experience to routine case work. She asks clients about goals and adapts the mix of approaches over time. Prospective clients in Indiana should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches work for remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, clarifies concerns, and helps set priorities for work together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and uses practical exercises to test changes between sessions. That makes CBT straightforward to use in a virtual meeting and for homework assignments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ellen will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques so sessions stay relevant to what the client wants to change.

The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using written worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and behavioral experiments that can be done between meetings.
