About Ellen

Ellen Goodloe, LCSW, CSW, is a licensed clinical social worker serving clients with 27 years of professional experience. She holds licensure in Virginia and Colorado and draws on a long career assisting people with relationship concerns, anger management, motivation and self-esteem challenges, career difficulties, and stress and anxiety. Her work with the military and veteran population has included supporting individuals coping with trauma and abuse, and she brings that experience to clients facing a wide range of life transitions and emotional struggles.

Ellen approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, believing that everyone is unique and carries individual strengths. She often works with clients who struggle with negative self-talk and diminished confidence, and she uses a variety of evidence-based techniques to tailor conversations and treatment plans to specific needs. That individualized focus aims to build motivation, improve coping, and restore a clearer sense of personal gifts and direction.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, and Ellen provides steady support through that process. She looks forward to working with people who are ready to grow and change, offering practical guidance and collaborative care informed by years of clinical practice.

Evidence-based Approaches and Online Support

Ellen Goodloe employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client. Trauma-informed methods focus on understanding how past difficult experiences affect current thoughts and behaviors and provide a framework for processing those experiences in ways that reduce distress and improve functioning. A strengths-based approach helps clients identify personal resources and talents, building on what is already working to boost confidence and resilience. Skills-focused coping strategies teach practical tools for managing stress, anger, and anxiety so clients can navigate daily challenges more effectively.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Ellen works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and needs, and together they decide which techniques fit best. This collaborative planning helps shape a treatment plan that feels meaningful and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in care from home or other convenient settings, making it easier to maintain continuity during busy or changing schedules and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
