About Sharell
Sharell Arneaud is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Florida with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
Sharell uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She leans on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck about making life changes.
Her background includes long-term practice with young adult issues, mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She also works on communication problems, control issues, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) concerns, and family problems. This range informs how she combines methods to fit each situation.
In conversation she focuses on clear goals and next steps rather than abstract theory. Sessions tend to center on what is useful now - coping strategies, communication skills, and planning manageable changes. She helps people name priorities and test small adjustments to see what helps.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Sharell commonly integrates client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in brief, practical ways. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely, reflects concerns, and helps a person name priorities and choices. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see if they reduce distress or improve daily routines.Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolkit to help with readiness for change. It uses curious, nonjudgmental questions to uncover a person’s own reasons for change and to set achievable next steps. These methods suit issues like anxiety, depression, panic, and life transition planning because they emphasize clear goals and small experiments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most useful given their goals, needs, and preferences. That assessment guides whether sessions focus more on thought work, skill-building, or motivation and planning.
The biography specifies that current contact is through messaging and live chat, so confirm session options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins around work or caregiving, allow short focused chats for specific problems, and reduce travel time. Ask about the exact formats offered before scheduling to make sure they fit daily life.
