Ellen Grant, LCSW

Ellen Grant is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than 29 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, depression, addictions, grief, parenting concerns and career transitions. She combines her clinical social work background with experience as a licensed practical nurse and as an executive coach to offer a practical, person-centered approach to change and growth. Ellen concentrates on workplace and career issues, women and leadership, diversity and multicultural concerns, and additional areas such as caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, midlife transitions, and the aftermath of trauma or discrimination.

Her primary therapeutic method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a skills-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop more effective coping strategies. She also integrates talk therapy and coaching techniques when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and life stage. Ellen has served on nonprofit boards and engaged with the National Association of Social Work at local, state and national levels, experiences that have informed her collaborative, respectful manner.

She approaches the work with empathy and steady support, framing progress as sustained effort over time. Ellen emphasizes realistic pacing and partnership in therapy - a step-by-step process toward meaningful change with the clinician alongside the client throughout the journey.
