Rev.
01About Ellen
Rev. Ellen Schipul offers a listening style that centers the client. She introduces gentle questions and practical strategies to help people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, mood shifts, ADHD, and parenting strain.
She brings 18 years of counseling experience and says spiritual beliefs can be included when wanted. Her approach connects thoughts, body sensations, and spiritual meaning. Sessions combine client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness exercises.
Somatic methods are used when people want to notice how feelings show up in the body and learn ways to calm or regulate them.
Background and approach
She has a long background in pastoral counseling and brings that context to therapy for people who value a spiritual perspective. That background informs her listening and her focus on whole-person balance. She is licensed as an LPC in Pennsylvania.
Ellen often uses brief, goal-focused techniques alongside slower, exploratory work. Solution-focused strategies help with immediate problems and planning. Mindfulness skills support managing anxiety, stress, and compassion fatigue.
People can expect practical tools to practice between sessions. These may include thought exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy, short mindfulness practices, movement or breathing to shift body states, and step-by-step problem solving. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood. Online sessions give space for those conversations and allow the therapist to follow the client’s pace and priorities, whether the work is practical problem-solving or deeper reflection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In teletherapy CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice short exercises, and set small behavioral experiments to try between sessions - useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness methods teach simple attention practices and short breathing or body awareness exercises that reduce reactivity. These techniques translate well to video or phone work and can be reinforced through brief text reminders or recorded practice suggestions between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then adapt methods over time based on progress and feedback. Clients are invited to shape the pace and focus of work together.
Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow visual cues and richer interaction, while phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth or be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simpler to check in between appointments, share short updates, or get brief coaching without a full session. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to practice new skills in daily life.
