About Aarin
Aarin Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas who helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care challenges, blended family conflicts, eating and body-image struggles, and caregiver stress.
Aarin brings 24 years of experience to her work and uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Her style is warm and interactive.
How Aarin works
She listens closely and asks questions that help people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, manageable changes that make daily life easier.
Aarin draws on client-centered therapy to keep the person’s goals in focus, cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking, and trauma-focused approaches when past harm continues to affect day-to-day life. She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people build calm and focus.
In sessions she pays attention to respect and sensitivity, avoiding quick labels and inviting people to describe what they need. The work is collaborative - she suggests options and adjusts them to fit each person’s pace and preferences. People come to her for both immediate support and longer-term change.
She helps with practical skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping after loss or difficult events. Her approach aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

How Aarin’s approaches fit online therapy
Aarin uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and strengths. This approach means sessions center on the individual's goals and the therapist follows their lead to build useful steps forward.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or lift low mood. CBT works well for specific problems and for practicing skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and how they like to learn. Then she will suggest methods and adjust them based on what helps and what feels comfortable.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter setup or lower bandwidth helps. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, notes between sessions, and a flexible way to share thoughts when real-time voice or video isn't possible.
