Arielle Blumenthal, LCSW

Arielle Blumenthal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a compassionate, person-focused approach to help people through anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She frames therapy around practical steps and listening so clients can feel heard and begin to move forward.

Arielle spent her undergraduate years at the University of Florida and earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn she focused on aging and completed the Anne Nolan Reese Penn Aging Certificate. She also worked at the Penn Memory Center supporting caregivers of people with dementia and connecting them with resources.

She works with adolescents, adults, and seniors and has particular experience supporting people through caregiving stress, becoming a parent, and aging-related challenges. Since becoming a mother herself, Arielle has grown especially interested in helping new mothers with postpartum concerns and the early challenges of parenthood.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with practical techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and Solution-Focused methods to build small, achievable steps forward. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change.

Arielle aims to create a kind, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard things. She pairs empathy with clear tools so clients can practice new ways of coping between appointments. Her work is grounded in four years of clinical practice in Florida.

How Arielle blends evidence-based approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and reflecting it back without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them in therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust tactics as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and how quickly to try them.

Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people join from different locations within the licensure region, making scheduling more flexible while still focusing on clear goals and practical skills.
