More about Ellen
- 29 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Greetings- I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 29 years of experience in the field. I am also a licensed practical nurse and executive coach. My areas of focus in social work are stress, anxiety, workplace and career issues, women and leadership, and diversity. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy or talk therapy in my counseling approach. I have served on boards of not for profit organizations and been involved in the National Association of Social Work at the local, state and national level. All of this experience has made me an empathetic listener. I treat all with respect and the utmost confidentiality. Doing the work to reach your counseling goals is not easy. It will take work on your behalf, but think of it simply like running a marathon—it’s a mile at a time until you reach 26.2 miles at the finish line or climbing stairs to the twenty-sixth floor in an office building. But, just know I’ll be right there with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ellen gets to know you and respects what you want to work on and talk about. I enjoy my sessions with her and benefit greatly.
Dr. Grant is excellent. She’s supportive and non-judgmental while also holding you to account. She is patient and goes above and beyond to provide resources and help improve.
She’s a very passionate person, something extremely important to find with a therapist. Definitely recommend
Thank you so much for working with me. I finally feel like I found a counselor who listens and understands me.
She’s been incredibly attentive, respectful and patient with me as I navigate a lack of motivation and purpose following the death of my father. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Dr. Grant has been a really great support of support for me during what has been a challenging time. I feel she understands me and I leave our calls feeling balanced, focused and refreshed and in between calls she’s always there with resources to help- whether it’s an article, a few kind words. books or some other helpful medium which always reinforce the goals I’m working towards.
Thank you so much for just being there to listen. I really appreciate your empathy in our sessions.
Ellen is a steady tether. She makes herself available, is a sound listener and offers applicable and helpful life advice. She is someone who cares. I would highly recommend her.
