About Ellen
New York LMHC Ellen Loveless has 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes. She works with individuals who are facing relationship and family questions, career transitions, panic and post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective concerns. Ellen uses client-centered, solution-focused, and emotion-focused methods along with cognitive behavioral techniques.
Ellen keeps sessions focused and conversational. She listens and helps people set short-term goals they can try between meetings. Sessions emphasize practical steps to reduce distress and improve communication in important relationships.
Her background includes long experience across a range of life stages and mood concerns. That history informs how she blends approaches to fit what a person is trying to change. Ellen pays attention to patterns of thinking and feeling, and to how those patterns affect daily life and relationships.
In sessions she works collaboratively to identify concrete strategies and track progress. People can expect direct reflection, problem solving, and skills practice when appropriate. The work often includes reviewing how thoughts link to mood and behavior, and strengthening emotional responses in close relationships.
Her style is interactive and respectful. Ellen asks questions, offers observations, and supports people as they try new approaches between meetings. To begin, clients complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a persons goals. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients make choices that fit their values and daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and teaches ways to express and respond to feelings more effectively, which can help with relationship and family concerns.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Ellen will work with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as different issues come up or progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows practical skills and homework to be reviewed between meetings. Licensed professionals use these same approaches when working remotely, and sessions are adapted to make exercises and emotional work practical for everyday life.
