About Arielle
Arielle Ballard is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses a straightforward, caring style that aims to make therapy feel approachable.

Arielle draws on thirteen years of experience in mental health and substance abuse assessment and treatment. She listens without judgment and helps clients identify practical steps toward their goals.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear tools and personal strengths rather than jargon. Her work often includes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered approaches. Those methods are used to address things like grief, trauma, parenting stress, workplace issues, and social anxiety.
The focus is on finding what matters to each person and trying small changes that add up. Arielle trained at The University of Toledo, where she earned a master’s degree in community counseling after completing a bachelor’s in psychology. She holds an Ohio LPCC credential and has worked with people across a wide age range and diverse backgrounds.
Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth tone and practical homework between sessions when it helps. The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and build skills for coping with everyday challenges. Arielle invites people ready to try a different way forward to begin the process together.
How chosen approaches work online
Arielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for worry, social anxiety, and low mood because it breaks problems into clear steps. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal habits when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match each person’s needs. Sessions often mix short skill practice, reflection, and home tasks to see what actually helps over time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or busy schedules while still using the same therapeutic tools.
