About Arielle

Arielle Ballard is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and direct, and she aims to listen without judgment so people can begin making changes they want.

Arielle uses everyday strategies drawn from evidence-informed approaches. She often applies client-centered work to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness tools can help with strong emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping. Her background includes extensive work with people affected by trauma, substance use, mood disorders, and life transitions.

She has experience supporting those navigating adoption and foster care, blended family issues, postpartum depression, fertility challenges, and the stresses of parenting. She has also worked with people facing career pressures, isolation, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues. Sessions may include goal-setting, skill practice, and short-term problem solving.

Arielle blends motivational interviewing techniques when people are weighing change or facing ambivalence. She draws on practical exercises and straightforward conversation to help people try new ways of handling difficult situations. She conducts therapy in English from Ohio and uses many formats to connect.

Parents and individuals who want a down-to-earth listener and hands-on skills can find a clear, step-by-step approach here.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so sessions focus on the client's priorities and goals. This helps parents and individuals shape sessions around what matters most to them rather than following a rigid plan.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online sessions can include guided exercises and homework to practice at home between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that are easy to teach over video or chat and useful during intense moments.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Arielle will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helping. She works with clients to set small, measurable steps and checks in about what is working and what needs to change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support, or quick problem-solving between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting life and to continue work between meetings.
