    About Arielle

    Arielle Ballard is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She offers a calm, down-to-earth approach and listens without judgment. Her style is practical and focused on helping clients make real changes they can keep.

    With 13 years of experience, she has supported people across many concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges, and career or workplace stress. She also addresses areas such as adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, fertility and postpartum matters, and social anxiety.

    Arielle blends methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing. She uses these approaches to help people identify goals, try new strategies, and build everyday skills for managing emotions and behavior.

    Her education includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Community Counseling from The University of Toledo. She holds an Ohio LPCC license and brings experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds during her career in diagnostic assessment and treatment.

  2. How Arielle’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

    Arielle uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build confidence to try new behaviors. This approach focuses on listening, asking helpful questions, and supporting small steps toward goals.

    She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers on empathic listening and responding to each person’s unique concerns. That style helps people feel heard and understood while they figure out what matters most to them.

    Cognitive behavioral therapy, another part of her work, looks at patterns of thought and behavior to identify practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT techniques often include developing new coping skills and practicing them between sessions.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend which methods to try first. Flexibility and ongoing feedback guide adjustments so the plan fits the person’s needs.

    Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness and CBT tools in daily life between meetings, helping new habits stick.
