Ellen is fantastic. She really listens. I know that sounds funny but she creates a type of space that I can be open and honest. Her ability to speak the truth in love is great. I do wish for 2 things, her environment to be a little warmer and her angle of the camera. White wall is not as inviting. Maybe something that shows more of her personality. Painting on the wall or something. More light in the space. :) Second, 30 minutes is WAY too short. I wish we were able to select longer times. Other than that Ellen is a joy. I am so thankful for her. She has been a much needed sounding board in my life during this season.

Hi, my name is Ellen Rondino and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Florida who is experienced in working with families, couples and individuals of any age and background. I am available to assist clients who are facing many different issues including relational challenges, depression, grief, trauma, anxiety, and eating disorders.
I utilize a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to building trust and fostering a therapeutic relationship that will unlock my client's creative and innovative thought process. My top priority is offering my clients a safe place to explore their feelings and overcoming pervasive thoughts that may be causing disruptions in their lives. We all face challenges and experience some type of pain in our lives. Life can be hard and discouraging. I hope to help my clients navigate through the valleys and mountain times in life and help them find some purpose in their pain.
I have successfully worked with couples and individuals to achieve their goals and objectives, leading to healthy empowering lives. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your journey and how I can support you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Ellen has changed my life. She is so in tune with what is helpful for me, what is the best way to communicate ideas with me, and to reflect back what I tell her. She has changed my way of thinking and helped me to learn so much about myself that I would have never discovered alone or likely with anyone else!
Ellen listens objectively and gives sound stable advice. She is easy to talk to and listens without judgement. Overall helpful!
Ellen has been such an amazing guide for me as h am learning more about myself. She has helped me discover parts of my personality, emotions, and brain that I’ve never reflected on before. Most importantly, she has helped me with all of this through kindness, honesty, and with a great sense of humor. Truly thankful and grateful to have the privilege to be one of Ellen’s clients!
Ellen is easy to get to know and listens with an open mind. She is empathetic and understanding and tries to get to the root of issues.
Very very helpful and always willing to listen. Highly recommend.
She does a great job at communicating and talking to me on the phone. We are working through some of my challenges and she’s been very helpful.
She’s so fantastic. Not sure how I have managed difficult times without her.
Ellen makes me feel safe and heard. She’s like a the cool aunt you always go to except she’s trained to give you professional help, which is better! I’m very in the short time I’ve had with her, I look forward to more sessions and more break through! :)
