About Arielle
Arielle Ballard is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, addictions, grief, trauma, and other life changes. Arielle also lists blended family issues and adoption and foster care among her focus areas.
Arielle uses clear, practical conversation to help people sort out what matters most. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and understand a person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those tools fit the situation.
Clients can expect straightforward goals and skills-based work. Sessions often include setting small, doable steps between meetings. Arielle helps people practice new skills in real life and then talks through what worked and what did not.
Her background includes more than a decade of assessment and treatment for mental health and substance use concerns. Arielle earned a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Community Counseling from The University of Toledo. She holds her LPCC in Ohio.
People contact her about relationship tension, co-parenting concerns, merging households in blended families, postpartum mood changes, workplace stress, and difficulties with self-esteem. The tone is pragmatic and nonjudgmental, focused on making concrete changes that fit daily routines.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and can decide what matters most. This approach helps people clarify priorities and make choices about relationships and household changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing alternate ways of thinking and acting. CBT can help with anxiety, mood, stress, and difficulties that come up when households merge.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and recommend which methods to use. That discussion is collaborative and can change as goals shift.
Confirm the specific session formats when you book, since the profile does not list formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules call for them. They can also let people work while keeping cameras off if that helps, or choose a simpler phone conversation when bandwidth or background noise is a concern. Ask about the available formats before scheduling so you can pick what fits your routine.
