How her approaches translate to online work
Arielle uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s goals and priorities. That approach means conversations start with what matters most to the client and build from there.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which can be practiced between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when strong emotions or relationship conflict are central concerns; these skills teach concrete techniques for regulating emotions and improving communication.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Arielle will talk about your goals and try methods that match those goals, adjusting the plan as needed. You and the therapist will review what is working and what needs to change.
