About Arielle
Arielle Shipp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, anger, grief, and life transitions. Sessions also address sleep problems, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Arielle sees clients as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings. Conversations aim to make day-to-day situations easier to handle, from heated moments at work to simmering resentment at home.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and EMDR where appropriate. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice different responses, and process painful memories that keep anger and anxiety active.
In sessions she talks through problem areas and builds small, concrete skills to use between meetings. That can look like testing a different response in a difficult conversation, trying breathing or grounding techniques during high stress, or planning steps after a major life change.
Arielle also works with issues tied to parenting, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, fertility, body image, and communication problems. She encourages steady progress and practical adjustments people can keep using after therapy ends.
Approaches used online and how they help
Arielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and focuses on small, testable changes that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address painful memories that keep strong feelings active. Trauma-Focused Therapy works with the impact of past events on current behavior, and EMDR is used to process distressing memories that continue to affect mood and reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on skill-building, memory processing, or a mix of methods.
