About Arielle

Arielle Speer is a licensed social worker practicing in Missouri with LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credentials and seven years of clinical experience. She specializes in ERP therapy for people experiencing OCD, anxiety disorders, and panic disorder and brings focused experience supporting autistic adults as they build coping skills, address autistic burnout, and work toward better nervous system regulation.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, she emphasizes practical, skills-based work that helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop more effective responses. Her approach centers on empowerment and collaboration, guiding clients to set realistic goals and value progress rather than perfection. She meets people where they are in their journey and provides coaching-style support for life transitions, workplace challenges, self-esteem concerns, and compassion fatigue.

In addition to anxiety and OCD, her practice addresses stress, mood disorders, social anxiety, caregiver issues, communication difficulties, and questions of life purpose and self-love. Whether focusing on short-term, solution-oriented goals or longer-term growth, she aims to help clients expand coping resources and move toward clearer, more manageable daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and autism support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, OCD, panic, and mood concerns and emphasizes measurable steps toward specific goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and sensations, supporting nervous system regulation and tools to manage stress and burnout. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on building on existing strengths and defining clear, achievable goals so clients can make progress even in a short number of sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through multiple formats. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide more frequent, on-the-go support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who use evidence-based approaches.
