About Aarin
Aarin Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas. She brings 24 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, anger, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing relationship and family challenges and those navigating LGBT issues and gender dysphoria.
Her sessions are warm and interactive. She listens closely and asks practical questions to understand daily routines and immediate concerns. Parents will find straightforward strategies they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Aarin avoids labels and focuses on each person's strengths and needs. She blends client-centered work with structured tools that change unhelpful thinking and behavior. That mix helps when anxiety, low mood, or past trauma get in the way of daily life.
The therapist also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and physical reactions without getting swept up in them. Aarin has long experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She has worked with people affected by domestic violence, substance use concerns, eating and body image issues, and fertility or loss-related struggles.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying flexible to meet real life needs. People leave with clear steps to try between meetings and with options to build on as goals change.

Approaches Aarin lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Aarin uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience and choices. This approach means sessions begin with listening and helping clients name what matters most, which can be especially helpful for parents sorting priorities during stressful times.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers clear strategies for easing anxiety, reducing anger, and tackling low mood by practicing small changes in thinking and behavior.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they fit the person's life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a brief break at work. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, coping skills practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules.
