About Arielle

Arielle Karoub is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Arielle speaks English and accepts international clients for online work. Her style is direct and collaborative.

She focuses on clear communication and practical steps people can use between sessions. In sessions she listens closely, asks questions to clarify patterns, and helps people try small changes that add up over time.

Arielle draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds affect current relationships.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful. With three years of clinical experience, Arielle blends listening with hands-on tools.

Sessions may include skill practice, gentle challenges to unhelpful thoughts, or exercises designed to improve connection and communication. She aims to create a steady, predictable process clients can rely on.

People who choose her often want practical help for everyday problems and clearer ways to handle intense emotions. Arielle guides each person toward goals they set, one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches that adapt to online care

Arielle uses the Gottman Method to look at how couples interact and identify patterns that harm connection; the work often involves exercises to improve communication and rebuild trust. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Arielle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then combine methods as needed. That way therapy matches the issue at hand rather than forcing one single method.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people balancing busy lives or long distances. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and practice communication exercises together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to keep a steady connection between sessions and to get brief coaching or reminders when new skills are being practiced.
