About Arielle

Arielle Griffin is a licensed social worker practicing in Virginia with six years of clinical experience. She holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LICSW stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and maintains licensure in Florida (FL LCSW SW17230) and the District of Columbia (DC LICSW LC50082655).

Arielle has worked across a variety of care settings, including outpatient medical clinics, acute hospital environments, pediatric outpatient offices, and across Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs. She provides individual, group, and family therapy to people who have experienced trauma and to those navigating grief, while also supporting clients dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career challenges, and related life transitions.

Her approach is inviting and compassionate, blending Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Client-Centered methods to tailor treatment to each person. She listens carefully, offers practical support, and collaborates with clients to design a treatment plan suited to their needs and goals. Arielle aims to empower clients as they work toward greater resilience and well-being.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading, traveling, taking pilates classes, and practicing mindfulness, and she brings that same grounded attention to her therapeutic work.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client s lead and helps them explore values, goals, and strengths. This approach is helpful for people seeking a collaborative, empathic environment to work through personal and relational concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and problems that benefit from structured skill-building and goal-setting.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques that can complement other approaches, supporting emotional regulation and self-compassion during difficult transitions or ongoing stress.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Arielle will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailor an approach or combination of approaches that fits the individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support and adapt session styles to what works best for each client.
