About Arielle

Arielle Griffin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. She uses straightforward, people-centered methods to help individuals find clearer ways to cope. Her approach aims to make sessions feel inviting and manageable for someone starting therapy for the first time.

Arielle combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation.

Background and approach

She draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to support decision-making and build day-to-day coping skills. Sessions often include concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage grief, or navigate changes at work or home. Her background includes work in outpatient medical clinics, acute hospital settings, pediatric outpatient care, and both Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs.

That variety has shaped a flexible style for one-on-one and group work, and informs how she plans treatment that fits practical life demands. Arielle has six years of post-graduate experience and holds licenses in multiple jurisdictions, including a Florida LCSW and a Washington, D.C. LICSW.

People who come to her often want help with relationships, self-esteem, caregiver stress, or issues tied to adoption and foster care. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, workplace concerns, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, or questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, chat, or text messaging.

Arielle describes her style as inviting and caring. She listens first, then collaborates on a plan that fits each person's goals and daily realities. If someone prefers step-by-step tools and a conversational, supportive approach, she aims to make starting therapy feel doable.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Arielle commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation so people can identify their own goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns for anxiety, low mood, or workplace stress.

She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts feel overwhelming by offering step-by-step practices to stabilize reactions and improve communication. Together, these approaches offer both listening and practical tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to pick approaches that match goals, daily routines, and personal preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress and needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, momentary coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions and keep therapy consistent around life demands.
