She also supports people dealing with body image, commitment or control struggles, and complicated mood concerns such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Arlene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, actionable steps. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing exercises, pacing activities, and planning small behavioral changes to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on processing trauma and painful experiences through careful, paced conversation and safety-focused strategies so emotions feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so the approach matches current needs and progress remains a team decision.

Online formats make regular work possible for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, ongoing accountability, and brief reflections between scheduled meetings. These options aim to make consistent care easier to maintain while fitting into daily routines.
