Ellen Markey

Ellen Markey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She talks with adults about career strain, relationship concerns, grief, and challenges tied to health or caregiving. Her style is calm and patient, and she focuses on listening first so people feel understood.

She uses client-centered therapy to put the person's experience in focus. That means sessions begin with what matters most to the individual and build from there. Ellen also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and take small steps toward goals.

Ellen has three years of professional experience as an LPC. She has worked with adults facing unexpected illness or injury, and with people adjusting to job or location changes. Many of her clients bring issues such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, sleep or eating concerns, and workplace pressure.

In sessions she emphasizes practical coping strategies for anger, anxiety, and mood shifts. She helps people name feelings, weigh options, and try out manageable changes between sessions. Conversations are steady and straightforward, aimed at improving day-to-day functioning.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a session. Ellen works in English and does not accept international clients. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Client-centered approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's viewpoint and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps the client explore feelings and choices without steering the outcome. This approach can help with anger, grief, anxiety, and stress by making space to name emotions and consider what matters most.

Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that supports change by drawing out a person's own reasons and goals. It is often used when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about changing behaviors related to health, substance use, or daily routines.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative process guides which methods are used and how sessions are paced.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow steady check-ins during difficult periods. Some people also find shorter or phone-based meetings useful when time is tight or when appearing on camera is not preferred.
