About Arielle

Arielle Speer offers straightforward, goal-focused support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or big life changes. She writes in clear, practical terms and centers progress over perfection. Her approach is down-to-earth and aimed at helping people build skills they can use day to day.

Speer is a licensed independent clinical social worker - LICSW - and also holds an LCSW in Missouri. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods to help clients clarify goals and make small, steady changes.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the body and to calm racing thoughts. Sessions tend to be collaborative and action-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try concrete strategies, and practice new skills between meetings.

The therapist emphasizes practical steps that fit a person's daily life rather than abstract theory. She has seven years of experience working with anxiety, depression, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges around self-esteem and life purpose. Additional focuses include support around autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, communication issues, and feelings of isolation.

People who want clear plans and steady progress often find this style helpful. The first meetings focus on understanding what matters most and choosing small, achievable steps. From there the work builds toward better coping and clearer priorities.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and learning how to slow down during high-pressure moments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks down problems into manageable parts and teaches practical exercises to reduce worry and improve daily functioning.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete changes that move someone toward their goals. Sessions often concentrate on strengths, past successes, and easy steps clients can try between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports steady progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
