About Arielle
Arielle Ballard is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and life changes. She also assists people facing addiction, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.
Arielle uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people identify what is getting in the way and try different ways of responding. She leans on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. That means sessions often focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, setting small goals, and practicing new behaviors between meetings.
Her background includes more than a decade of diagnostic assessment and treatment for mental health and substance use concerns. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in community counseling from The University of Toledo. She works with adults, adolescents, and children and has experience with culturally diverse clients.
In sessions she listens without judgment and helps people try concrete strategies for managing anger and other strong emotions. People can expect problem-solving, short-term skill building, and a focus on practical change. Her experience includes both individual and relational topics like communication and blended family issues.
Arielle encourages people to start small and track what works. She aims to make therapy direct and usable so clients can try different approaches and notice real shifts over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Arielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and homework to try new responses between meetings.She also brings Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients can set their own goals. Motivational Interviewing shows up when someone feels stuck and needs help finding internal reasons to change small behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arielle will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and preferences. Together they pick strategies to try and review what helps, adapting tactics as needed.
