About Arielle

Arielle Speer is a licensed social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and career or life transitions with practical, skills-based support. She emphasizes steady progress over perfection and works collaboratively with clients to build coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Background and approach

Arielle draws on seven years of clinical experience and uses evidence-informed methods to help clients develop clearer thinking patterns and stronger emotional regulation. Her approach often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Arielle has experience addressing issues such as compassion fatigue, self-esteem, workplace challenges, and social anxiety, and she offers coaching-style guidance alongside traditional therapy work. She meets clients where they are and supports gradual, sustainable change while helping them identify practical steps forward.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Skills and Regulation

Online work with Arielle often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and on Mindfulness Therapy to strengthen present-moment awareness and stress regulation. CBT provides concrete tools for managing anxiety and mood symptoms, while mindfulness practices support emotional grounding and improved attention to internal experience.

Finding the right combination of methods is collaborative. She partners with clients to explore which approaches align with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the plan fits each individual’s needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions using a format that feels most comfortable for the client.
