About Arielle

Arielle Shipp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her work includes attention to body image, fertility and pregnancy concerns, postpartum depression, and women’s issues.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then offers clear tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused work.

Background and approach

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate, to address distress tied to traumatic memories. Arielle frames clients as the experts on their lives. She helps people identify strengths and small steps that add up to real change.

Sessions focus on what is useful that week and what can be practiced between meetings. Clients can expect a calm, respectful approach that balances talk and active strategies. She draws on 14 years of experience as an LPC in Virginia to guide her choices without assuming one method fits everyone.

Her sessions are oriented to real-life problems and routines. Parents can bring concerns about parenting and sleep. Workers can bring career stress and burnout.

People who have faced trauma can work on symptoms and coping strategies in manageable steps. Practical pacing and measurable goals are central to her background and approach. She supports people as they try new skills, check progress, and adjust plans until things feel more manageable.

Online support

Online approaches for trauma and mood support

Online sessions can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of treatment planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories by combining focused discussion with specific bilateral stimulation methods to reduce emotional intensity. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on treating reactions to traumatic events and teaches coping skills for symptoms tied to those experiences.

The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best. That choice is based on the individual's concerns, goals, and comfort level rather than a preset plan. Clients can expect a collaborative conversation about options and a gradual introduction to techniques so they can see what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to connect. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone visits need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and daily support easier between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
