Arielle Ballard, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Arielle

Arielle Ballard is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of personal challenges. She aims to create a calm space where parents and caregivers can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, and life transitions.

Her tone is down-to-earth and practical, good for someone juggling family life and looking for clear support. Arielle draws on 13 years of experience working in mental health and substance use treatment.

Background and approach

She has helped people across ages with mood concerns, trauma, anger, and issues related to relationships and intimacy. Her work includes attention to topics like postpartum depression, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems. Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is wrestling with change or substance use, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills support emotion regulation and coping under stress. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps parents can try between meetings.

She emphasizes practical strategies for everyday life - improving routines, setting boundaries, and clearer communication with children and co-parents. Her background includes a Master’s in Community Counseling and Ohio LPCC licensure (OH LPCC E.0602011-SUPV). Arielle offers appointments in formats that fit family schedules.

She works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to help people find manageable change without overwhelming their routines.

Using practical approaches in online therapy

Arielle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when working with parents and caregivers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small behavior changes to make daily life easier. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by clarifying values and building motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, then recommend tools and ways of working that fit your family situation. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and adjust them over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit busy schedules. These options let parents connect from home, fit sessions around childcare, and continue work between meetings with messaging. The variety aims to make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on practical steps that can be used in day-to-day family life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
