Arielle Ballard

Arielle Ballard is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who helps people manage anger and related concerns. She works in a calm, straightforward way and focuses on listening without judgment. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.

Arielle has 13 years of experience that include diagnostic assessment and treatment for mental health and substance use concerns. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and adjustment to life changes. Her background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Community Counseling from The University of Toledo.

In sessions she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That means the work often blends practical skill-building, reflective listening, and steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Conversations are focused on real-life strategies rather than jargon.

Arielle helps people set clear goals and track small changes over time. She draws on experience with substance use, grief, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and identity-related issues for LGBT clients. The aim is steady progress through manageable steps and honest conversation.

If someone prefers a down-to-earth approach and a therapist who emphasizes usable tools, Arielle’s style may fit well. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Arielle’s Methods Translate to Online Work

Arielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anger and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to help people feel heard. DBT skills add breathing, emotion-regulation, and interpersonal tools for staying steady during strong feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. That exploration happens together and can shift over time as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing skill practice between meetings and helps people apply new techniques directly to their daily routines.
