She also offers help for social anxiety, loneliness, and feelings of guilt or shame. Arielle brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions and holds an MA LICSW and a Missouri LCSW. She practices in Missouri and conducts work in English.

She emphasizes collaboration and meets clients where they are, helping them build habits that fit real life rather than perfect ideals.
Approaches that fit online care
Arielle commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns because it focuses on concrete skills and experiments clients can try between sessions.She also uses mindfulness therapy to support calmer attention and lower reactivity. Mindfulness practices in sessions can be brief exercises to steady breathing, notice sensations, and build tolerance for stress without getting overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Decisions about pacing and techniques happen together so clients feel involved and in control of their progress.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow interactive conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short check-ins or rapid problem-solving, and text messaging lets clients share updates or questions between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try approaches consistently.
