Ellen Markey, LPC

Psychotherapist
TX
Welcome! I am Ellen Markey, a Licensed Professional Counselor with many years of experience. I will be meeting with you online. My job is to listen to your concerns so that together we can determine the best way to help you. I am comfortable talking about life transitions, anxiety and depression, coping skills, and career changes, among others. My approach I was trained in the Rogerian approach as a primary way to start a new relationship with a client. Listening to you-what you are feeling and what you want in terms of change-helps us work toward feeling better and achieving your goals in therapy. I also have skills in CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and other modalities. My focus I work with adults experiencing life transitions that affect their lives in ways they want to change and improve. Typically, these transitions are not going well, leading to depression, anxiety, and difficulty coping. My communication style I listen carefully to ensure I understand what clients are experiencing and want to change. Clients often tell me they feel accepted and heard. My journey to therapy I was a student in Rehabilitation, trained to help people with physical, mental, or emotional challenges. While there were many special needs to address, I realized the human experience has more similarities than differences. Helping others is based on meaningful connection, establishing rapport and trust, and supporting someone in their journey. My education I earned my Master's in Counseling from the University of Texas Southwestern. My goals for you I ask what you are trying to achieve and what you need from me to get there. Most people have a goal in mind; if not, I am happy to help you find one. My first session with you We will begin with an assessment to establish safety, understand how you are feeling and functioning, and identify what is needed first to help stabilize and reassure you so you can achieve your goals.
