About Ellen
Ellen Daniels is an LCSW licensed in Indiana with 28 years of experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her work often covers panic symptoms and ongoing mood concerns noted in her practice.
Her approach centers on listening and building trust so people can speak about difficult feelings. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for practical skill building and managing symptoms.
Ellen also draws on existential ideas when people are wrestling with life purpose, loss, or deep questions about meaning. Jungian-informed perspectives can help with exploring personal themes and recurring patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
In sessions she focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversation and simple, usable tools. She helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and issues around control. She offers support for addiction-related concerns including drug and alcohol problems and the stresses of caregiving.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing chronic pain, illness, and relationship strain after separation or divorce. She often helps clients who feel isolated or who want practical steps for coping with panic attacks or persistent worry. To begin, people typically complete an intake and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means Ellen will ask questions, reflect back what she hears, and help the client choose where to begin. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and uses specific exercises to change them; it is useful for panic, worry, and mood-related symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy includes simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and build awareness in the moment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ellen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about how techniques are working and adjusts the plan based on feedback and progress.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between other commitments. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. Discussing session length and timing during the intake helps shape a schedule that matches everyday responsibilities.
