About Arielle

LICSW and LCSW clinician with 7 years of experience, based in Missouri, who focuses on stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, coaching, and compassion fatigue. Arielle Speer also pays attention to issues around autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication problems, and workplace difficulties. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work.

Arielle works directly with individuals to build practical skills for day-to-day challenges. Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps and regular practice rather than aiming for perfection. She uses CBT tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense feelings and improve moment-to-moment focus.

In addition to therapy, Arielle includes solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events affect current functioning, with attention to pacing and safety. She supports people who experience burnout and seeks to strengthen coping strategies for sensory or regulation difficulties related to autism.

Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations center on what the person wants to change and which skills will make daily life easier. Sessions combine practical exercises, guided discussion, and at-home practice to reinforce new habits.

People looking for help with mood, anxiety, workplace stress, or caregiving strain will find a clinician who prioritizes steady progress. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

CBT helps people identify thoughts and test new behaviors. In practice this looks like tracking situations, noticing automatic thoughts, and experimenting with different actions to see what changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques support managing strong emotions, improving focus, and easing experience of burnout or overwhelm.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to concrete, short-term goals. Sessions often include setting a clear next step and reviewing what worked since the last meeting, which suits people who want practical progress quickly.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That process helps find a fit rather than assuming one method up front.

The biography does not specify exact online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. It also enables using screen-shared worksheets, habit tracking, and recorded mindfulness practices as part of ongoing homework.
