About Ellen

Rev. Ellen Schipul brings a client-centered, integrative approach that emphasizes listening, self-exploration, and practical tools for change.

Background and approach

She combines an interest in the connections among thought patterns, bodily sensations, and spiritual meaning with evidence-informed interventions to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Ellen draws on 18 years of professional experience and a background as an ordained interfaith minister to offer a broad perspective on healing.

Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, somatic techniques, and solution-focused strategies to address issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, parenting, bipolar and depressive conditions, and a wide range of attachment and family-of-origin dynamics. She also attends to less commonly named struggles including abandonment, caregiving stress, codependency, dissociation, and forgiveness work.

Located in Pennsylvania and practicing as an LPC, she accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for remote care

Client-centered therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration to explore values and goals. This approach supports work on stress, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and other personal struggles by honoring each person's perspective and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used to address anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and management of ADHD-related challenges through structured strategies and homework practice.

Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation in trauma recovery, anxiety, and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right mix of tools is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best fit their needs, preferences, and goals. That collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to connect across distances. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver tailored interventions, teach practical skills, and maintain continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and scheduling needs.
