01About Ellen
Ellen Markey is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with adults and focuses on practical steps to manage feelings and regain a sense of control. Ellen communicates plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and three years listed experience as an LPC in Texas. That training shapes her work with people adjusting to major health changes, chronic conditions, or new caregiving roles.
Background and approach
She pays attention to grief, anger, and the routine losses that follow illness or injury. Ellen uses client-centered methods to build a trusting, nonjudgmental space. She encourages people to describe what they want to change and helps them set realistic next steps.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding internal reasons to move toward new habits or goals. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, relationship strain, and issues tied to identity, including LGBT concerns. Other focus areas include sleep and eating concerns, panic attacks, compassion fatigue, and isolation.
Ellen adapts conversations to the person’s pace and priorities. Sessions emphasize simple, actionable strategies - small behavioral changes, clearer communication techniques, and ways to manage overwhelming thoughts. Ellen aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful rather than abstract.
She invites anyone ready to talk about change to begin the process together.

How Ellen Uses Client-Centered Work and Motivational Interviewing Online
Ellen relies on client-centered therapy to guide online sessions. That approach focuses on active listening, empathy, and responding to what each person says. It helps when someone needs a calm, understanding space to name emotions and make sense of changes.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change behaviors. This method asks open questions, reflects what the person says, and supports small, achievable steps. It is useful for things like adjusting to illness, changing health habits, or addressing addictions and workplace goals.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Ellen will talk about goals and preferences and try different techniques until something fits. The aim is collaboration - the person and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
Online sessions come as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
