Holistic counseling for mind and spirit
Start with Rev. Ellen SchipulLicensed · Professional · Cancel Anytime
Rev. Ellen Schipul is an eclectic therapist who listens with an open mind and cultivates meaningful dialogue aimed at self-exploration. She brings a broad array of evidence-based resources and adapts her approach to meet each person where they are.
She emphasizes healing through building bridges between the mind - thoughts and habits - the body - feelings and intuitions - and the spirit - a person’s connection with something greater by whatever name. Rev. Schipul combines more than 15 years of therapeutic work with eighteen years serving as an ordained Interfaith Minister to help clients pursue a balanced life of mind, body, and spirit.
As a pastoral counselor and a student of non-traditional spiritual wisdom spanning ancient and indigenous teachings to New Age and thought traditions, she is able to integrate a client’s spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process when desired. Her primary therapeutic model is Internal Family Systems (IFS), and she is recognized as IFS-informed by the IFS Institute. She also employs mindfulness, Focusing, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindful parenting tools.
She practices as a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania and brings eighteen years of professional experience to her work supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, relationship and family conflicts, parenting issues, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns—such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes—online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers an accessible way to pursue support for everyday mental health concerns while maintaining a professional therapeutic relationship.
