About Arielle
Arielle Ballard is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and money and financial issues. She speaks plainly and listens without judgment so people can start making small, practical changes. Many come for help with depression, parenting stress, grief, or life transitions and leave with clearer next steps.
She trained at The University of Toledo, earning a master’s degree in community counseling after a bachelor’s in psychology. Arielle has 13 years of experience working with people who face mental health and substance use concerns, and she has supported individuals across a wide age range and diverse backgrounds.
In sessions she draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness approaches, and Motivational Interviewing. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the person, practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, emotion regulation techniques, and steps to stay motivated.
She often helps people with communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, fertility and pregnancy challenges, and workplace stress. Arielle also addresses intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, addiction, and challenges common to young adults and women.
Her approach aims to be straightforward and collaborative. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and building skills that fit daily life.
How Arielle’s approaches translate to online work
Arielle uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions focus on the person’s priorities and experience, giving space for someone to be heard and to shape goals. Client-centered work helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental place to sort through difficult feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach practical steps for changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, stress, and for tackling specific habits related to money, eating, or substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts plans based on what helps most in real life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like worksheets and skills practices between meetings. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor pacing and homework to suit everyday routines.
