About Ariel
Ariel Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with four years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, social isolation, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Ariel focuses on helping individuals - especially young adults and women - find clearer ways to manage emotions and day-to-day challenges.
Ariel blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a faith-informed perspective. Sessions typically look at current problems and past patterns that keep them repeating. She helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect their feelings and then tries different, practical strategies to reduce distress.
Conversations often include developing better communication habits and rebuilding self-regard after hurt. She addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, guilt and shame, and difficulties with boundaries or control. Ariel also works on concerns linked to body image, workplace stress, and the experience of loneliness.
Her approach aims to be straightforward and intentional. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and goal-focused steps to try between sessions. Faith and personal values may be part of the work when the client wants that included.
People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Ariel applies evidence-based techniques online
Ariel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included. Cognitive-focused techniques look at how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors; clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking and practice alternatives to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Behavioral strategies focus on small, practical steps to change avoidance, build new routines, and test fears in manageable ways.Working together, Ariel and the client decide which techniques suit the presenting issues and personal values. She treats that selection as a collaborative process that may shift as goals change or progress is reviewed. Clients are invited to give feedback so methods can be adjusted over time.
The practical benefits of remote sessions are mostly about fitting therapy into daily life. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, avoid travel time, and quickly check in between in-person commitments. Phone or video choices can also help when a shorter check-in is needed, or when lower bandwidth is preferable.
