Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with clear steps clients can try between meetings. Arielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also uses trauma-focused methods and EMDR for people processing distressing memories.
These approaches are explained in simple terms so clients know what to expect. Over 14 years in the field, Arielle has helped people manage life transitions, grief, and the fallout of abuse or trauma. She emphasizes pacing and safety when working with painful material, and she supports people through pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility-related stress when relevant.
Sessions may include skill teaching, coping plans, and guided processing of difficult memories. The aim is to reduce distress and increase daily functioning by using concrete tools tailored to each person's goals.

How Arielle’s Approaches Work Online
Arielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety or low mood and then try small behavior experiments to change those patterns. EMDR is used to help process distressing memories by combining guided attention with gradual memory work to reduce intensity. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers the effects of past events and uses paced interventions to make daily life more manageable.Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try, adjust the pace, and check in on what is or isn’t helping as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy flexible for different schedules. Video is useful for in-depth work and face-to-face connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or moments when typing feels better than talking. These options let people keep therapy going from wherever they are, fitting sessions around work, childcare, or medical appointments.
