About Arthalia
Dr. Arthalia Weekes, LSCSW, LCSW, has 18 years of experience as a clinical social worker in Kansas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also addresses concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems.
She listens for what lies beneath immediate symptoms and pays attention to how relationships and daily life affect wellbeing. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague promises. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and chooses methods that match each person’s situation.
In practice she integrates approaches to address trauma, mood concerns, and anxiety. That can mean working on emotion regulation, processing painful memories, and improving how people relate to others. She also supports people coping with the fallout of divorce, infidelity, or domestic violence, and those managing guilt, shame, or impulsivity.
Dr. Weekes draws on nearly two decades of experience to help people build skills and make steady progress. Conversations are direct and aimed at tangible change, such as better communication, clearer boundaries, or reduced avoidance of difficult situations. She encourages practical experiments between sessions to test new ways of handling stress.
People who reach out should expect a focused, collaborative process that looks at thoughts, feelings, relationships, and everyday routines. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Weekes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on processing trauma and improving emotion regulation. For trauma processing she may use approaches that help people work with distressing memories in a paced way to reduce their hold on daily life. For emotion regulation and interpersonal skills she applies methods that teach concrete skills for managing strong reactions and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. This includes checking in about how methods are going and adjusting the plan as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can still use practical exercises, skill practice, and memory-processing methods effectively through virtual sessions when the approach and timing are agreed on together.
