Ellen Jacob

Hi, I’m Ellen Jacob, LCSW. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported—not judged or told who you should be.

I work with women and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or caught in patterns they can’t seem to break. Many of my clients are insightful and motivated for change, but find that understanding why they feel or behave a certain way isn’t always enough to create lasting change.

My approach is warm, person-centered, and practical. I integrate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you better understand your thoughts, manage anxiety and depression, develop healthier patterns, and move toward the life and relationships you want.

I have a particular interest in anxiety, ADHD, relationships, parenting and parent-child relationships, inner-child work, and navigating major life transitions—including divorce and co-parenting. I also work with clients who are participating in court-mandated therapy and can provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while maintaining clear therapeutic boundaries.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin exactly where you are and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.

If you’re ready to feel less stuck and more in control of your life, I’d be honored to work with you.

My Approach

I use evidence‐based tools from CBT, DBT, and ACT

• Reduce anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and reactivity
• Understand and change the way your brain is thinking and working
• Help to make new routines and thought patterns
• Accept the hard things, and work on what you can control

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling empowered, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate their challenges. I create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment, where individuals, families, and couples feel safe exploring their emotions and relationships. My goal is to help clients gain clarity, resilience, and actionable strategies through structured discussions, evidence-based techniques, and meaningful self-reflection. By integrating CBT, DBT, ACT, and Gottman Principles, I guide clients toward lasting change, healthier communication, and deeper emotional awareness. Through therapy, they develop the confidence to overcome obstacles and build a more fulfilling, balanced life.
