Background and approach
Arielle aims to make the process feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Her work draws on approaches that address thought patterns, traumatic memories, and the emotional fallout of difficult events. She uses tools that help clients reframe unhelpful thinking, process upsetting memories, and learn coping skills that reduce distress in the moment.
With 14 years of experience, she brings steady clinical practice to each meeting. Arielle works with people facing a range of concerns including bipolar challenges, postpartum depression, fertility-related stress, body image, and communication problems. Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style.
She helps people set short-term steps and track progress over time. The aim is to restore a sense of control and to improve daily functioning. Arielle provides services in English and practices throughout Virginia.
Her approach combines direct methods with empathy to help people move toward clearer thinking and calmer reactions.
How specific approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought records, and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. In remote sessions the therapist guides memory processing and uses bilateral stimulation approaches adapted for video or phone delivery to help lessen distress tied to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time so methods evolve as progress is made.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people who prefer written communication. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quick follow-ups, and different ways to engage with therapeutic tools.
