About Arielle
Arielle Shipp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, and the pressures of parenting. Her work also addresses sleep problems, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Arielle takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. She listens to what is happening at home and at work. Then she works with each person to identify small, useful steps that reduce stress and improve everyday functioning. Sessions are conversational and focused on problem solving rather than jargon.
Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and trauma-focused methods when appropriate. That can mean tracking thinking patterns, practicing skills between meetings, or using trauma-focused techniques for painful memories. Arielle explains the methods and helps people pick what feels most helpful.
She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, body image concerns, fertility and pregnancy-related issues, postpartum depression, and problems with communication and forgiveness. Those topics often come up alongside grief, life transitions, and mood symptoms, and she helps people address them together.
Arielle works in English and practices in Virginia. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The site’s booking flow guides people through the next steps.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work is handled
Arielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside trauma-focused methods. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR addresses distressing memories by combining targeted recall with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity and process traumatic events. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past events affect current reactions and developing coping skills for triggers and distress.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Arielle discusses goals, symptoms, and preferences with each person and recommends methods that fit those needs. She reviews how a given method usually works and invites questions before using it in sessions.
