About Ellen
Ellen Daniels is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with 28 years of professional experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Ellen also focuses on issues like abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and problems with communication and control.
In sessions she keeps language straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to map out what is causing day-to-day strain and then test small, doable changes. Clients can expect focused talk about patterns of thought and behavior, practical coping tools, and reflective exploration of meaning and choices.
Ellen draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with anxiety and emotional regulation, and she brings existential and Jungian ideas when questions about life purpose and inner meaning arise.
Her approach balances immediate symptom relief with attention to deeper concerns about identity and purpose. Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented, with room for emotional processing and concrete skills work. Ellen encourages clear steps clients can try between meetings to test what helps.
She practices in Indiana and conducts work in English. To begin, a short questionnaire and a first scheduled session are used to match goals and plan next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. Online sessions using this approach allow the client to set topics and pace, while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. This is useful for people who need a pragmatic, conversational place to sort stress and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or low mood. In remote sessions CBT typically includes structured check-ins, simple behavioral experiments to try between meetings, and direct practice of coping skills. It works well for panic, mood disorders, and problems like avoidance.
Mindfulness Therapy offers brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage cravings or distress. These exercises can be taught and practiced in session and then adapted to daily routines for ongoing symptom relief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, current challenges, and personal preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress and needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and medical appointments. It also supports shorter check-ins when energy or bandwidth is limited, and allows practice of skills in the context of everyday life.
