About Ellen
Ellen Goodloe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Colorado with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports people with LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Her practice emphasizes practical conversation and steady problem-solving. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. Ellen uses a mix of evidence-based techniques tailored to the person’s situation rather than a single method.
She often helps people challenge negative self-talk and build confidence through concrete steps and repeated practice. When trauma or past abuse is involved, she works at a pace the person can manage and helps build coping skills for stress and strong feelings. Career and relationship concerns are addressed with goal-setting and communication practice.
Ellen aims to be straightforward and attentive during sessions. She listens for what matters most and converts that into clear next steps. Her background with veterans and armed forces issues informs how she frames trauma, stress, and role-related challenges.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-style work that helps people identify and challenge negative self-talk and replace it with more balanced thinking; this is useful for low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Another common strand is skills-based coping work that teaches concrete strategies for managing anger, stress, or strong emotions and for improving communication in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ellen reviews goals, symptoms, and life demands with each person and suggests techniques to try. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps and what fits the person’s schedule and preferences, so the process is collaborative rather than fixed.
The practical benefits of working online include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and quicker check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to apply new skills in day-to-day settings without major travel planning.
