About Arielle
Arielle Shipp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and a practical approach to everyday struggles. Her style is straightforward and supportive for people looking for clearer coping tools and steady guidance.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on building strengths and practical skills rather than complicated theory.
Background and approach
That can mean learning ways to manage worry, rebuilding confidence after hard events, or finding new patterns for better sleep and mood. Arielle uses methods that are goal-oriented and trauma-aware. She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with trauma-focused techniques and EMDR when appropriate.
These approaches are used to reduce symptoms, process difficult memories, and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. People come to her for a wide range of concerns. Besides anxiety and depression, she supports those dealing with grief, parenting stress, postpartum challenges, fertility-related distress, body image, and career strain.
She also works with people facing compassion fatigue and bipolar disorder management. Sessions aim to be collaborative and concrete. Expect clear steps between meetings, small practice tasks, and regular check-ins about what is and isn’t working.
The goal is to help people feel more capable handling daily life and long-term change.

Approaches for trauma and daily stress online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with practical strategies. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories by pairing focused recollection with guided bilateral stimulation. It is used when trauma or painful memories are interfering with daily life.
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how past events affect current reactions and building skills to reduce their impact. It often involves pacing exposure to difficult material while strengthening coping strategies.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions are made together and can change as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, message-based reflection, and ongoing, brief communication between sessions. These formats make regular care easier to fit into busy lives.
