About Arielle
Arielle Speer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with seven years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Common concerns listed include stress, anxiety, mood changes, career questions, and questions about life purpose.
Arielle uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help people notice patterns, test new actions, and build skills that fit day-to-day life. Mindfulness approaches are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Her background includes focused work with autistic adults on coping skills and nervous system regulation. She also addresses caregiver stress, workplace issues, social anxiety, and challenges tied to guilt, shame, or impulsivity. Sessions are aimed at practical steps rather than perfection.
Clients can expect sessions that concentrate on clear, manageable changes. Arielle emphasizes building coping strategies for overwhelm, addressing compassion fatigue, and supporting self-esteem and self-love work. She works with people to name realistic next steps when career or role changes leave them unsure of what comes next.
Language of practice is English and services are provided in Missouri. For people considering therapy, she recommends starting with a short questionnaire to match goals and then scheduling a first session to discuss priorities and the plan.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
People can expect Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active, then practicing alternative responses. CBT is useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and workplace or performance stress. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build steady attention to the present moment and reduce automatic reactions; it often supports anxiety, overwhelm, and coping with strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That plan can change as sessions reveal what helps most, and adjustments are made based on progress and preference.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to schedule. Many people use remote sessions to maintain momentum during life changes while keeping therapy consistent with day-to-day responsibilities.
