About Ellen
Ellen Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are facing depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Ellen takes a straightforward and person-focused approach. Sessions are conversational and practical. She talks with clients about what feels most pressing and works with them on steps they can try between meetings.
Her work often centers on communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and the emotional aftermath of divorce and separation.
Ellen uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means she pays attention to how thoughts, actions, and relationships interact, and she helps people learn skills to manage difficult feelings and improve interactions.
She welcomes LGBTQ+ individuals and people exploring self-love and forgiveness. Practical tools, clearer patterns in relationships, and steadier coping are common focuses in her sessions.

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping people feel heard while they sort through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of working together. Ellen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized in future sessions, and adjustments are made as needs change.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer a way to continue care when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach CBT exercises, practice DBT skills, and run client-centered conversations that focus on real-life problems.
