How Arielle’s Approaches Work Online
Arielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT focuses on small, practical changes people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people dealing with past traumatic experiences. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how trauma shows up now and builds coping skills to reduce its impact. EMDR aims to process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and easier to manage day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend an approach together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for many people. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions work when a quieter line or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, scheduling, or continued support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
