    About Arielle

    Arielle Simpson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and bipolar-related issues. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

    She has twelve years of experience in the field and spent eight years working directly with individuals and families in home and school settings. That hands-on work shaped a practical approach to everyday problems and life transitions. She has certifications and specialized training in addressing distress and traumatic events across the lifespan.

    Arielle’s counseling style is empathic, supportive, and motivational. She blends methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and narrative therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps toward change.

    She adapts her approach when a different way of working will better help someone reach their goals. In the room she helps people name what they want to change, try new behaviors, and notice what gets in the way. Conversations are straightforward, with tools and practices you can use between meetings.

    If someone is unsure how to start, she guides them through a simple process to clarify priorities and build a plan. The emphasis is on practical progress and building skills that fit into real life.

  2. How approaches like Motivational Interviewing and ACT work online

    Arielle draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and plan small steps forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and learning simple exercises to make room for difficult thoughts while still moving toward what matters.

    Sessions also reflect a client-centered stance where the person’s experience guides the work. That means the therapist and client decide together which tools to try and adjust those tools over time. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Arielle works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Remote sessions can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or phone-only meetings when video is not preferred. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your day-to-day life and responsibilities.
