About Ellen
Ellen Codere is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and relationship challenges. She brings 32 years of practice in Michigan to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Ellen works with adults on issues like depression, grief, parenting strain, and identity concerns, including LGBT matters and career stress.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set realistic goals and try small, testable changes. Sessions often include discussing patterns, practicing coping skills, and building clearer communication with others.
Ellen draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to challenge unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with strong feelings, and emotion-focused methods to improve connection and repair in relationships.
Many people come with overlapping concerns such as chronic pain, caregiving stress, eating and body-image issues, or ADHD-related struggles. Ellen helps unpack how these concerns affect sleep, daily routines, and energy so clients can take stepwise action. She aims to make therapy understandable and doable for busy lives.
Clients who start therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Ellen practices in Michigan and offers services in English.
Approach and online work that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making behavior changes that support better sleep and daily routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep-related habits that keep problems going.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may shift as people try techniques and see what helps in real life.
