About Ellen
Ellen Loveless is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as depression, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes.

Her approach centers on listening and helping people clarify their goals. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused methods. Sessions emphasize active listening and practical steps toward specific needs.

She has worked across a broad range of concerns for nearly three decades and brings that experience into how she structures sessions. Clients can expect focused attention on the immediate issues they bring and on small changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is focused on identifying and naming emotions and on changing patterns in close relationships. It can help when feelings are hard to describe or when recurring reactions keep causing conflict or distance.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the person in making their own decisions and steps forward.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It often involves trying small, practical changes and noticing how those changes affect mood and daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods match a client's goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the approach as sessions progress. That matching is collaborative and can shift over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions help maintain continuity of care and bring therapy into ordinary routines without changing the therapeutic focus.
