About Ellen
Ellen Markey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of practice. She works with adults 18 and older on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. Ellen also lists support for addiction, eating and sleeping issues, bipolar concerns, and workplace problems.
She favors a straightforward, listening-based style. Sessions center on understanding what led to the current struggle and finding practical ways to respond. Ellen uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s concerns and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and build motivation for change.
Her background includes work with people adjusting to physical illness, injury, and the changes those bring. That experience shapes how she attends to grief, loss, and shifts in daily ability. She also helps people whose stress comes from caregiving, aging-related issues, chronic pain or long-term health conditions.
In sessions she focuses on concrete coping strategies and clearer communication. Conversations often cover managing anger, facing burnout or compassion fatigue, pacing activity with chronic symptoms, and rebuilding confidence after a setback. The aim is to make small, usable shifts that fit into everyday life.
People who prefer direct, listening-focused conversations may find her approach useful. Sessions are conducted in English from Texas. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the individual. In practice that means the therapist reflects what you say and helps you organize thoughts around stress, anger, or life change so you can decide next steps. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-focused way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change behavior or try new coping strategies; it can be useful for issues like addiction, workplace changes, or building healthier habits.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss needs, priorities, and practical goals, then try methods that feel most workable. That collaborative process helps people test a few ways of responding to anger and pick what helps them keep progress between sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting someone join without being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals often adapt the rhythm of sessions to what fits a person’s schedule and energy levels rather than promising a single format.
