About Arielle
Arielle Shipp is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also focuses on related concerns such as body image, communication problems, fertility and pregnancy-related matters, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, forgiveness, and cultivating self-love and women’s issues. With 14 years of experience, she draws on a range of clinical tools to help clients move toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day coping.
Her approach views clients as the experts on their own lives, and she emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies that build on existing strengths. Arielle commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside trauma-focused methods and EMDR when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.
She encourages taking small, courageous steps and offers steady support through life transitions and recovery from difficult experiences.
Approaches for Online Healing and Trauma-Informed Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can help process distressing memories by integrating adaptive information and reducing emotional intensity. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the effects of trauma and developing safety, coping skills, and gradual processing when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that best fit the situation. This shared decision-making helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and manageable for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care from home or work. These formats support steady progress by accommodating different communication styles and schedules while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
