Arielle Shipp

Arielle Shipp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients dealing with changes like pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, fertility concerns, grief, sleep problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Arielle centers sessions on each person's experiences and strengths. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and that therapy is a collaborative process. In conversation she listens for what matters most, offers clear options, and helps people try tools that fit their daily life.

Her approach draws on methods that address thinking patterns, traumatic memories, and the ways past events affect current feelings. That means she may work with thoughts and behaviors, and with trauma-focused techniques when that is helpful. She explains methods in simple terms and checks in often to see what is working.

Across 14 years of clinical work she has supported people through major life transitions, parenting stresses, body image concerns, and relationship communication problems. Her background includes work with clients who face bipolar mood challenges and those coping with anger or sleep disruption.

People who want straightforward, respectful guidance about eating and body image issues, fertility and pregnancy concerns, or managing anxiety often find her style practical and direct. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How CBT, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused Care Work Online

Arielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and depression going. CBT sessions often involve identifying patterns, testing small changes, and practicing new skills between meetings.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma-focused approach that helps lessen the intensity of distressing memories. EMDR sessions work through memories and the emotions tied to them in a paced way tailored to each person.

Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work means addressing how past events affect present reactions, with a focus on building coping skills and safety. These approaches are explained in plain language and chosen together based on the client's needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits best, checking in and adjusting as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also help people continue care through life transitions when in-person meetings are difficult.
