Background and approach

Sessions move at a practical pace and aim to leave clients with clear next steps. Arielle draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow what the client finds most important.

She also incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Her background includes many years working with people facing substance use and mood concerns, as well as those coping with trauma, grief, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and workplace stress.

She has experience across a broad age range and with diverse cultural backgrounds. Sessions are offered from Ohio and conducted in English. People can expect straightforward, compassionate guidance that focuses on practical strategies and gradual progress.

How Arielle’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Arielle often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and following their lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change unwanted cycles.

She may also use dialectical behavior therapy techniques for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills fit a person’s needs. DBT-based skills teach breathing, grounding, and communication steps that people can practice between sessions to reduce crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Arielle collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, strengths, and preferences. That may mean trying a few tools and adjusting as progress is made.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship and communication work. Phone calls can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins and ongoing support between regular sessions.
