About Arielle

Arielle Manganiello is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps families and parents navigate difficult moments. She works with parents, couples, adolescents, and children on worries like anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship tension, and parenting struggles. Her tone is warm and interactive and she aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for busy families.

She uses a mix of therapies rather than one fixed method. Arielle draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, attachment-based ideas, and Jungian thinking depending on what a family needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals like improving communication, managing stress, or coping with life changes. Arielle keeps work collaborative. She helps clients name patterns and make small, concrete changes that fit family life.

Parents will find straightforward tools to try between sessions and a plan that adjusts as situations change. Her style emphasizes respect for each person’s experience and pacing that suits the family. She describes therapy as a shared process where meaning and change emerge together.

That makes space for grief, trauma recovery, and rebuilding intimacy when those issues come up. With three years of professional experience, Arielle combines training and practical work with families to support real-life goals. Families who want a focused, flexible approach to parenting, relationships, or life transitions may find her practical and steady in sessions.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online family care

Arielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching practical ways to act despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns between family members. This work focuses on improving how people connect, handle conflict, and feel safe with one another, which can be useful for parenting and couple concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arielle treats therapy as collaborative and will discuss different methods and tailor the plan to the client’s goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress happens.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let families meet face to face from home, phone sessions may fit quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief updates or when talking in real time feels hard. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and try new strategies in daily life without long travel times.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
