About Aarin

Aarin Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Arkansas and Louisiana with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, grief, parenting stress, and LGBT concerns. She also lists blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and communication problems among her focus areas.

Aarin keeps sessions practical and interactive. She listens first, then helps people identify what's getting in the way of daily life. Conversations often include straightforward skill-building to manage strong feelings and to cope with painful memories or relationship strain.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-focused work. That mix is used to help people notice harmful patterns, try new responses, and reduce overwhelming reactions. Mindfulness practices may be introduced to help with anxiety and stress regulation.

Aarin has long experience with people who have experienced domestic violence and other forms of abuse. She also works with challenges related to parenting, separation or divorce, substance concerns, eating and body image issues, and caregiver stress. Her background includes work across age groups in community and clinical settings.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Practical tools, clear steps, and regular check-ins help people track progress. When someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Aarin uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's own goals and experiences. That means sessions center on what matters most to the client and the therapist follows the client's lead to identify priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT often includes practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build better daily habits, useful for anxiety, anger, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend techniques accordingly. Decisions about which methods to try are made collaboratively and can change as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shortening travel time and letting appointments be scheduled around work or childcare. It can also allow for steady, regular check-ins and practical skill practice between sessions without changing the core therapeutic methods.
