About Arielle
Arielle Speer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of practice experience in Missouri. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, career strain, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and life changes. She also focuses on concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Arielle uses cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused methods to help people name patterns and test small changes. She incorporates mindfulness practices to help slow racing thoughts and notice what matters most. Trauma-focused techniques are also part of her practice when past events keep affecting present life.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Arielle favors clear steps over long explanations, and she emphasizes steady progress rather than perfection. Clients can expect conversations that look at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments to try between meetings.
She has experience supporting autistic adults as they develop coping skills, manage burnout, and work on nervous system regulation. She also addresses workplace issues, isolation, impulsivity, and relationship communication problems at the individual level.
People who want to begin are invited to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Arielle uses an ongoing subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are conducted in English for clients located in Missouri.
How her approaches translate to online work
Arielle commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to name unhelpful thought patterns and test different behaviors. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can fit well into online care. Mindfulness therapy is used to slow down hard thinking and increase moment-to-moment noticing; this can include brief guided practices and grounding techniques useful in short check-ins.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to prioritize. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress and needs change.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or transportation constraints. Others choose shorter check-ins when time is limited, or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is low or video is not needed. These practical choices help therapy fit into everyday life rather than adding extra steps.
