About Arielle
Arielle Ballard is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem struggles, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on 13 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, and brings a nonjudgmental, compassionate presence that supports clients through grief, trauma, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, and other mental health issues. Her background includes assessment and treatment of mental health and substance use concerns across diverse cultural settings.
Her approach blends practical, skills-based methods with collaborative listening. Arielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness strategies, and motivational interviewing to help clients identify patterns, build coping strategies, and pursue concrete goals.
She offers individual, couples, and family counseling options and tailors interventions to the needs of each person. Arielle earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Community Counseling from The University of Toledo and holds the OH LPCC E.0602011-SUPV credential.
She works with English-speaking clients in Ohio and supports those seeking accessible, experience-informed care.
How structured approaches translate to online care
CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through targeted exercises and practical homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges where learning new skills can reduce distress.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to help clients explore their feelings and values. This approach supports people working through life transitions, identity concerns, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Arielle works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she blends strategies from different methods as appropriate so the treatment fits the individual rather than requiring the person to fit a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and sustain progress between meetings. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver CBT exercises, client-centered dialogue, mindfulness practices, and motivational techniques in ways that adapt to each person's routine and communication style, increasing accessibility and continuity of care.
