01About Ellen
Ellen Clark is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing depression, grief, and relationship pain. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps that ease daily life. Her tone is calm and direct, aimed at people who want steady support through hard moments.
She uses plain conversation to sort out what feels overwhelming. Sessions often involve naming patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and testing small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
That approach can help with communication problems, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. Many people come for help after loss, a breakup, or difficult work situations. Ellen also supports those dealing with trauma, attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and caregiver stress.
She pays attention to how guilt, shame, or low self-worth show up in relationships and work life. Her work includes support for pregnancy and childbirth related concerns and a focus on women's issues. She creates a welcoming setting for LGBTQ+ people and those who prefer an affirming, progressive approach.
Ellen blends client-centered care with concrete tools to build self-compassion and better coping skills. Clients should expect a respectful, steady process that balances listening with practical strategies. Ellen brings ten years of experience as an LPC in Missouri and uses approaches aimed at improving everyday thoughts, feelings, and interactions.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Ellen integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy into online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can explore their goals at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and introduces specific exercises to change unhelpful habits and mood. Dialectical behavior therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ellen will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods to match individual goals and preferences. Together they will decide whether to focus on skills practice, processing past events, or both, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward clearer thinking, calmer emotions, and better relationships.
