About Arielle

Arielle Griffin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with LCSW and LICSW credentials. She practices in Virginia and brings six years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life changes.

Arielle uses a warm, inviting style. She listens closely and helps people clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and on building skills that fit each person's day-to-day life.

Her work draws on client-centered care and cognitive-behavioral strategies, along with dialectical behavior and mindfulness techniques. She blends these approaches to help with mood, worry, self-esteem, and coping skills. Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change.

Arielle has experience in outpatient medical settings, hospital care, pediatric outpatient offices, and higher-intensity programs such as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. She has provided individual and group therapy, and has worked with people managing trauma and grief.

She also focuses on adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, workplace struggles, and issues that affect young adults and women. Outside of therapy she enjoys reading, travel, pilates, and mindfulness practice.

People who meet with Arielle can expect collaborative planning and a treatment path tailored to their goals. She aims to help clients feel more grounded and able to handle everyday challenges.

How Arielle's Approaches Translate to Online Care

Arielle uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where the client's goals guide each session. This approach focuses on understanding what matters to the person and adjusting the work to fit their needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, life demands, and personal preference. That choice can change over time as goals and needs change.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, or make sessions possible when leaving work for an hour is hard. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered methods to remote sessions to focus on skill-building, emotional processing, and problem solving.
