Daniel Ellenberg
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC
Somerset, KY 42501
I help clients experience lasting change by focusing on the root causes of their struggles, not just surface- level behaviors. Many people come to therapy having already tried coping strategies, advice, or increased self-discipline, yet still feel stuck. Often this is because unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or deeply held beliefs continue to drive emotional distress and relational patterns beneath the surface. My approach centers on understanding what a client has been through and how those experiences continue to shape their thoughts, emotions, nervous system, and relationships today.

Daniel Melear
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, PhD, NCC, LPCC-S
Somerset, KY 42501
I approach clients with respectful curiosity, learning from them what they need and what they want. Through listening to them and exploring their story with them, I look for patterns, for values, for incongruences, for self-talk to see where it points. Frequently, before the traumatic event they are talking about, there are attachment wounds from the past that continue to inform how the person shows up in life. When I see facial expressions and body posture changes, I help the client identify the emotions that are being expressed.

Daniel R Ellenberg
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, MA, NCC, LPCC
Somerset, KY 42503
I focus on helping clients address the root of their issues, not just the surface symptoms. In almost all cases, things like anxiety, depression, impulsive behaviors, and mood fluctuations stem from deeper wounds that have not been corrected. We need to work on the presenting problems, yes, but more importantly we need to address the underlying problem that is creating the symptoms. Imagine cutting back a rose bush you no longer want every year. You may have taken care of the problem temporarily, but it comes back year after year because you have never killed the roots. That’s the goal we have to accomplish together.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
