About Arthalia
Dr. Arthalia Weekes, LSCSW, LCSW, is a Kansas-based clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, and guilt and shame.
Dr. Weekes listens for what is under the surface and helps people name painful feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside exploring past events that still shape how someone feels and acts now. She pays attention to how relationships and everyday demands affect mood and behavior.
Her work draws on multiple evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She selects approaches to fit the person and the problem rather than using one method for everyone. In sessions she offers clear explanations, targeted exercises, and guided conversations to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
People who come for help with guilt or shame often look at specific memories, relational patterns, and self-critical beliefs. Dr. Weekes helps break these down into manageable pieces so clients can practice new responses between sessions. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the fallout of separation or infidelity.
Beyond direct therapy, she brings 18 years of clinical experience in community and clinical settings. That background informs how she frames problems, sets collaborative goals, and tracks change over time. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Kansas.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Many of the approaches she uses are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical skills. For example, cognitive processing methods help people identify and rethink unhelpful beliefs that keep guilt and shame active, and they are useful for mood and anxiety problems. Trauma-focused techniques help process disturbing memories and reduce their power over daily life by working through the memory and its meanings in a structured way.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting pace, mixing techniques, and checking in about what helps and what needs to change as therapy proceeds.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs, and may avoid travel time. Some formats can be shorter check-ins or require less bandwidth, which can suit days when a full session is difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these options to help therapy fit into everyday life.
