Rev. Ellen Schipul, LPC

Rev. Ellen Schipul is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and difficulties with relationships and family. She also supports people managing depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and codependency.

She uses an integrative approach that links thoughts, bodily experience, and a client's spiritual beliefs when that is important to them. Sessions are conversational and practical. She brings a mix of tools drawn from client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused methods, and somatic awareness.

Ellen has a background as an ordained interfaith minister and a pastoral counselor. That background often means clients who want spiritual themes included can do so. She describes therapy as creating dialogue and uncovering patterns that keep someone repeating the same choices or people-pleasing responses.

In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice small behavioral changes, and learn body-based ways to reduce overwhelm. She also works on setting clearer boundaries, managing caregiver strain, and sorting family-of-origin issues. Practical coping skills and short-term goals are common parts of her work.

People who prefer a blend of talk work, mindfulness practice, and attention to physical sensations will recognize the mix of methods. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To set up a first session, prospective clients use the matching questionnaire and scheduling flow provided by the service.
