Arielle Blumenthal, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Arielle

Arielle Blumenthal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a person-centered approach to help people through life’s changes. She focuses on issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting. She aims to make conversations feel practical and grounded so parents can find clearer steps forward.

Her work often centers on family and parenting concerns as well as caregiving and aging. She also supports people facing grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and communication problems, and postpartum challenges.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on immediate needs and realistic strategies that fit day-to-day life. Arielle trained at the University of Florida for her bachelor’s in sociology and earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn she specialized in aging and worked with caregivers at a memory center, offering emotional support and resources for dementia care.

She has four years of professional experience across adolescent, adult, and senior populations. Becoming a parent herself shaped her interest in supporting new mothers and families through transitions. In session she aims to be warm and nonjudgmental.

Her style blends listening with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods, alongside motivational interviewing when helping people find their own reasons to change.

Practical therapy approaches for online family care

Arielle uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, listening-first relationship. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s goals and preferences and works well for parents and family members who need a supportive space to talk.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques from different methods as needed rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t possible, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting or caregiving schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
