About Arielle
Arielle Shipp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms. She supports those facing trauma, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Arielle emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than labels and jargon.
She works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions focus on real-life strategies you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Arielle listens to your priorities, then helps you try tools that fit your daily life. Progress is built in small, manageable steps. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns.
She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people coping with traumatic memories. These methods are used depending on what each person brings and what feels right for them. With 14 years of experience, Arielle has supported people through big life changes, postpartum and fertility-related stress, body image and self-love struggles, and communication problems.
She emphasizes compassion and practical problem-solving during hard moments. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Arielle invites people who want to talk through practical options and build steady coping skills to explore whether her approach fits their needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to help process distressing memories. In practice it involves guided attention and structured steps to reduce the hold of traumatic images and sensations. It is often chosen by people struggling with post-traumatic stress or distress tied to past events.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches clear skills for managing anxiety, anger, low mood, and sleep problems so people can try new responses in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Arielle will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend one or a mix of methods. Decisions are made collaboratively and adjusted as needed over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for brief messages, ongoing support, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
