Ellen Lischin-Smith, LCSW-C

Hey, I’m Ellen.

I help folks find a better balance and a little bit more peace through online therapy in Maryland. My focus is adult ADHD, anxiety, and perfectionism.

I want to help you to understand your brain and discover your strengths so that life doesn’t have to be so hard.

I especially enjoy working with other neurodiverse moms like me.

About you:

Welcome fellow procrastinators,

If you’re reading this, it means I finally got my shit together to set up a website! Yay!

It might also mean YOU are looking for help to DO SOMETHING too - that thing (or 3, or 30) that you’ve been putting off.

Maybe you’re feeling:

  • anxious about that weird thing you said last week, or

  • frustrated about how hard it is to turn your intentions into actions, or

  • exhausted by the brainpower required to meet the demands of basic adulting.

My approach to therapy:

Together we can work to understand your brain and figure out how to tackle challenges with motivation, procrastination, avoidance, and perfectionism. Beyond improving executive functioning, we’ll process the shame, guilt, and self-criticism keeping you feeling stuck.

Building on a foundation of humanistic therapy, I integrate aspects of

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

  • Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
