About Sharell

Sharell Arneaud is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside mood, stress, and trauma-related issues. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings 16 years of practice experience. Sharell speaks English and works from Florida.

She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people under pressure. She uses plain conversation to help clients untangle worries, manage anxiety, and handle life changes. Sessions emphasize clear goals and real steps rather than long lists of techniques.

Background and approach

She pays attention to interactions that cause friction at home and looks for small shifts that improve daily life. Her style mixes listening with tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood.

Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s priorities at the center of each session. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck. Sharell also draws on Narrative and Solution-Focused therapies to reframe difficult experiences and build practical plans.

She works with trauma and related symptoms by focusing on safety and gradual coping skills. The overall aim is steady progress you can notice between sessions. Practical matters are handled simply.

Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead, helping people clarify what matters and make decisions that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Sharell treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss options and try methods that match the client’s needs and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time, so therapy stays useful and focused on real-life changes.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video and phone work well for longer conversations and skills practice. Live chat or messaging can provide brief check-ins, reminders, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family and work obligations.

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.
