Getting to know Eleanor Ward

Hi there, I'm Eleanor! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the founder of Bigger Fish To Fry Counseling, Coaching, and Consulting. I help individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and grief find clarity, peace, and direction. My heart is especially with those in midlife who are starting over—whether from death, divorce, or major life transitions. I know what it’s like to rebuild, and I walk with my clients through the process of rediscovering who they are and creating a life that feels fulfilling again. My approach is real, relatable, and results-driven. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation with purpose—where you’re seen, heard, and challenged to grow. Let's get you started on your path to healing today. My approach As a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Bigger Fish To Fry Counseling, Coaching, and Consulting, my approach to client care is grounded in authenticity, purpose, and action. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I meet people where they are—with compassion, real conversation, and practical strategies—so they can move forward in life with confidence and clarity. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. Many of my clients are in midlife, navigating major life transitions like the death of a loved one, divorce, career changes, or an overall sense of feeling lost. I understand the unique pain and opportunity that come with starting over. My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where clients can explore their truth, release emotional baggage, and build something new on their own terms My approach is both therapeutic and strategic. I blend evidence-based modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness with coaching-style interventions that help clients set goals and take consistent action. Healing is not just about uncovering pain; it's about learning how to live beyond it.
