Arielle Speer, LICSW, LCSW

Arielle Speer is a licensed social worker who helps people burdened by stress and anxiety find clearer ways forward. She uses practical tools and steady support to help clients manage overwhelming moments and handle life changes. Her style focuses on small steps toward meaningful progress rather than aiming for perfection overnight.

She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and shift them toward more useful choices. Mindfulness methods are used to build calm and present-moment awareness. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and create concrete plans for change.

With seven years of experience, Arielle emphasizes coping skills people can use between sessions. She aims to teach strategies that fit daily routines and workplace demands. Sessions typically include talking through specific problems, practicing new responses, and checking what works.

Arielle also gives attention to issues such as caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, social anxiety, and workplace conflicts. She supports people dealing with isolation, grief over life changes, and questions about purpose and self-worth. Her approach blends practical coaching with therapy-style interventions.

Based in Missouri, Arielle holds MA LICSW and MO LCSW credentials. She conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Arielle’s approaches translate to online work

Arielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves trying small behavioral experiments and practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention to the present moment and to develop calming practices that reduce reactivity and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and needs, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick strategies that feel practical and manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also let people use breathing exercises or brief skill practice in the context of their daily routine. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises and goal-setting to the online setting so the work stays focused and applicable to real life.
