About Arielle
Arielle Griffin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with six years of clinical experience working with adults in Virginia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, grief, and life changes. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach centers on practical conversation and skill-building. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are added when people need tools to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
Arielle has experience across outpatient and hospital settings, pediatric outpatient care, and higher-intensity programs such as Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs. That background informs her work with grief and trauma, and with people adjusting after major life events.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on clear goals, small strategies to try between visits, and checking what is working. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people weigh choices and move toward changes that matter to them.
Outside of clinical work she reads, travels, takes Pilates classes, and practices mindfulness. She speaks English and sees clients in Virginia. To confirm current session options before booking, readers should use the platform matching flow.
BHow sessions work
How Arielle uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Arielle commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client so goals are driven by the person's own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices when people need tools to manage strong emotions and increase moment-to-moment regulation. These skills are practical and can be practiced between visits, which helps with anxiety, relationship conflict, and compassion fatigue.
Picking the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is seen.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the therapist's profile does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use mindfulness or skills work in the context of their daily routines.
