About Helen
Helen Littrell is a licensed psychologist practicing in Ohio. She holds Colorado Psychologist PSY.0005583 and Ohio Psychologist P.08644 credentials and brings ten years of professional experience to her work. Helen focuses on common struggles like stress and anxiety and also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach centers on treating each person as the expert on their own life. She looks for practical strengths a person already has and builds on them.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what feels useful in day-to-day life. Helen also addresses concerns that often come alongside emotional challenges. She has experience with chronic pain, illness, and disability, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and workplace stress.
She offers support for people facing guilt, shame, and issues around life purpose. She has worked with people coping with disasters, hospice and end-of-life questions, gender dysphoria, personality struggles, and self-harm concerns. Helen aims to help people find steps that reduce distress and increase meaningful connection and functioning.
In sessions she helps clients talk through problems, try new ways of coping, and set small achievable goals. She encourages steady progress and respects the pace each person needs. Practical skills and honest conversation guide the work together.
Evidence-based techniques and online access
Helen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach teaches coping skills for anxiety and stress - learning breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavioral changes to reduce overwhelm and increase calm. Another approach focuses on processing grief and loss in manageable pieces, helping people name their experience, tolerate strong emotions, and find ways to carry forward meaningful parts of their life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the plan matches progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, progress notes, or short skills practice possible between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
