About Ellen
Her practice emphasizes connecting the mind - thoughts and habits - with the body - feelings and intuition - and the spirit - a sense of meaning or connection beyond oneself. As an ordained Interfaith Minister with 18 years in ministry and over 15 years of therapeutic practice, she brings a distinctive combination of pastoral perspective and clinical experience to counseling. Rev. Schipul is a LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, indicating formal clinical training and licensure to provide professional counseling services.
She is IFS Informed through training with the IFS Institute and integrates approaches such as mindfulness, focusing, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindful parenting to address concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. When desired, spiritual beliefs and nontraditional wisdom traditions are respectfully woven into the therapeutic process so therapy aligns with each person’s values and goals.
Approaches That Shape Online Counseling
Rev. Ellen Schipul commonly draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness therapy when working with people online. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and supporting each person’s capacity for self-directed growth - it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness through simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with trauma, grief, and ongoing stressors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Rev. Ellen Schipul works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for their situation.
Online therapy with her can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules, mobility needs, and comfort levels. These options make it easier to receive consistent care from licensed professionals without sacrificing accessibility, and they allow work to continue across life changes and geographical boundaries.
