About Rev. Ellen Schipul

Rev. Ellen Schipul combines a broad clinical toolbox with a listening style that prioritizes curiosity and self-exploration. She practices with an eclectic approach, offering evidence-based resources while honoring clients' individual beliefs and experiences. Her work emphasizes connecting mind, body, and spirit - attending to thoughts and habits, bodily sensations and intuitions, and each person's sense of something greater by whatever name they use.

She brings over 15 years of therapeutic experience alongside 18 years as an ordained Interfaith Minister, which informs a pastoral counseling stance and a comfort integrating nontraditional spiritual wisdom when clients desire it. That spiritual background ranges from ancient and indigenous teachings to New Age or Thought practices, and she adapts those influences to fit each person's values and goals.

The primary clinical model she uses is Internal Family Systems (IFS), and she is recognized as IFS Informed by the IFS Institute. In addition to IFS, her practice draws on mindfulness, focusing, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindful parenting. She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and uses a collaborative stance to help clients find balance and practical paths toward healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. It helps people who need empathy, validation, and a collaborative environment for exploring personal goals and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to bodily sensations and emotions, which can reduce reactivity and support recovery from trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rev. Ellen Schipul works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may blend techniques to create a tailored plan. Clients are invited into that conversation so the path forward feels intentional and workable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting clients connect from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain consistent care while working toward meaningful change with licensed professionals.
