About Ellise
Ellise "Ellie" Haskett is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns related to sexuality and LGBT issues. Ellie also lists social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose among the areas she focuses on.
Ellie uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps someone can try between meetings. She pays attention to how thoughts and situations interact so clients can test new ways of approaching difficult moments.
Her background includes seven years in clinical work in Illinois, where she has supported adults facing low mood, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles. She also has experience around pregnancy and childbirth concerns and issues common to young adults.
Ellie approaches each client as an individual. She adapts how she talks and plans treatment to fit the person's concerns and goals. That means checking in on what helps, then adjusting the plan as needed.
Many people come to her because social situations feel overwhelming or because panic attacks are disrupting daily life. She aims to help people build skills they can use right away, while also exploring longer-term changes.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Ellie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. One common approach helps people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety and then practice alternative responses to reduce worry and avoidance. This can be useful for panic attacks and social anxiety.Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations in small, manageable steps. The work is practical - identify a manageable challenge, try it with support, and review what worked. This method is often used when social situations or phobic reactions are part of the concern.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Ellie discusses options with each person and adjusts the plan based on their goals, preferences, and what proves most helpful. This is a collaborative process focused on what the client needs to try next.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and let people fit sessions into a workday or a break. It also allows therapists and clients to use video or phone in ways that suit energy, bandwidth, or comfort without changing the therapeutic goals.
