About Arielle

Arielle Shipp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 14 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. She brings experience working with a wide range of challenges including parenting, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, body image, fertility and postpartum issues, and other women's health topics. Arielle blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and trauma-focused approaches to tailor care to each person’s goals and history.

Arielle views each person as the expert of their own story and highlights individual strengths as a foundation for change. She frames the work as collaborative, guiding people to build coping skills, shift patterns that cause distress, and find practical steps toward greater well-being. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage - Arielle offers steady support through that process.

She provides flexible options for connecting, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and is available to work with adults within Virginia. As an LPC she holds licensure to provide professional counseling in Virginia and draws on years of practice to help people move toward more fulfilling, balanced lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood. It is a practical, skills-based approach that supports problem solving and behavior change.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that seeks to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the symptoms that follow traumatic experiences. It is often used when past events continue to affect daily functioning and emotional well-being.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and healing reactions that arise from trauma and abuse, combining safety, stabilization, and processing work to support recovery and resilience. Arielle works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, comfort levels, and access needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
