Arielle Simpson , LMHC

Arielle Simpson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience who works with individuals and families across a wide range of life stages. For eight of those years she has provided services in home and school settings, supporting people who are coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, early signs of disordered eating, and stress-related challenges. She also brings certifications and specialized training in addressing distress and traumatic events across the lifespan.

Arielle's counseling style is empathic, supportive, and motivational, and she adapts her approach to meet each person's needs. She draws on cognitive-behavioral and humanistic traditions as well as client-centered techniques, and she also incorporates methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy when they suit a client's goals. This flexible approach allows her to tailor interventions to concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, parenting and eating concerns, bipolar disorder, anger, and self-esteem.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins with recognizing the courage it takes to seek help and moves toward building practical skills and personal insight. Arielle aims to establish fertile ground for ongoing growth so clients can pursue the changes they envision and work toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Arielle Simpson

Arielle often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and focus on meaningful action. She also applies client-centered methods that prioritize empathic listening and support, creating space for clients to lead the pace and direction of their own growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another core tool in her practice - it focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Arielle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives because sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations within the state, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward personal goals.
