Arielle Griffin, LCSW, LICSW

Arielle Griffin, LCSW, LICSW, is licensed in Florida and the District of Columbia and practices in Virginia. She has six years of clinical experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, career issues, and related life changes. Her stated approach combines Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and solve immediate problems.

Griffin uses straightforward talk therapy and practical strategies. She listens, helps people set goals, and teaches skills to cope with difficult feelings. Sessions may include learning thinking skills from CBT, building emotional regulation tools from DBT, and using mindfulness to reduce reactivity.

Her background includes outpatient and hospital settings and work with partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. She also has experience providing individual and group therapy for people who have lived through trauma or are navigating grief.

Griffin addresses both everyday stressors and deeper life transitions. She helps with relationship communication, intimacy-related concerns, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and questions about life purpose. She also lists specialties related to adoption and foster care, pregnancy and childbirth, and young adult issues.

Sessions are framed as collaborative. The therapist and client identify goals and choose strategies such as motivational interviewing or solution-focused techniques when appropriate. People who prefer straightforward skill-building and clear behavioral steps may find this approach useful.
