About Ellen
Rev. Ellen Schipul is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 18 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationships, family and parenting concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients internationally.
She combines practical strategies for thoughts and habits with attention to bodily experience and personal beliefs. Ellen describes working across mind, body, and spirit and brings a range of approaches to each session. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Ellen brings background as an ordained interfaith minister and pastoral counselor, which she integrates when clients want to include spiritual perspectives. That background influences how she talks about values, meaning, and connection without prescribing any particular belief system.
In sessions she aims to offer concrete tools from CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and somatic practices. She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas and uses Focusing to help people tune into inner feelings and parts. The work tends to be practical and skill oriented, with attention to emotions and body sensations as they come up.

How CBT, mindfulness and client-centered work fit online
CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Online sessions can use structured exercises, worksheets, and behavior experiments to make changes between meetings. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing. It helps people manage emotion, reduce rumination, and respond to triggers with more awareness. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and helping people shape their own goals and values. That approach supports exploring what matters and deciding next steps at a manageable pace.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Ellen will collaborate with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals and preferences and adjust as they go. Sessions are practical and focused on skills, tracking progress, and choosing techniques that can be used in daily life.
