Relationship Issues Therapists in Arkansas

Love and Connection in life should not be confusing. But there is always a risk when it comes to getting those two critical human relational needs. Many times relationships feel like a dance, and feeling lost with no road map. It can often turn into division or discomfort, but does it always have to be that way? Emotionally Focused Therapy is a proven, evidence-based method that enhances couples' ability to gain Love and Connection through safety and security. And I would love to be that resource, coach, advocate to help partners sustain longevity in their relationship without leading to isolation or further hurt.

As a therapist I try to be very pragmatic: what works and what is true, in my opinion have to be the same thing. The Adlerian question: "What is it that will be different for you when we have successfully finished psychotherapy?" Is the navigating principle of the therapeutic map. I am convinced (and research supports me) that the counseling relationship is, by far the most powerful positive factor in successful psychotherapy.

My mission is to help clients through the challenges they're facing so that they're able to live full, happy, and healthy lives. Seeking help is the first step toward greater contentment and an improved ability to cope with the struggles that life invariably throws our way- congratulations on taking that first important step! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over fifteen years of experience in mental health. I work with adolescents, adults, divorced and single parents, and see people of every race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

“And how do you feel about that!?” ---Says every TV comedy-bit depicting therapy. In reality, it can be intimidating to share our true feelings with another person- especially with a (virtual) stranger. In therapy sessions, I therefore create a warm, safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, space to unpack your story. I view you as an expert on yourself and will encourage you to honor your own inner wisdom. I value processing your unique context and how intersectional identities and structures of oppression contribute to your distress.  My goal is to illuminate the root causes of your pain and to help guide you towards healing and growth.

I work with individuals who are having difficulty regulating their emotions. They are often experiencing a multitude of stressors all at once. The people I see have typically grown up in a traumatic environment and their current experiences are being compounded by past hurts. The combination of outside stressors and past trauma is commonly exasperated by relationship problems with family members. I help people learn to regulate their emotions and manage their stressors during these difficult times. I do not do marriage counseling on this platform.

When you entrust your healing to my care, it is my sincere hope to help you feel seen, accepted, & valued. My practice is rooted in values of compassion, justice, & empowerment. I believe in the power of connection and relationship to help individuals move through their journey to their ideal self. I integrate body liberation and identity affirmation principles into a relational approach. I work well with folx who identify as larger-bodied , queer , gender-nonconforming, or femme leaning. I also work well with individuals who are struggling to navigate a range of relationships, depression/anxiety, and trauma.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carol and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arkansas since 2010. I am also registered to see online clients in the state of Florida. My experience ranges from individual and family therapy in a clinical setting to working with children and adolescents as a school- based therapist. I have helped adults, children and families with issues such as anxiety, depression, communication, family/ relationship conflicts, parenting, self -esteem, self-acceptance, and life goals.

Accepting new clients; limited Saturday appointments available. Serving clients statewide in Washington state and Arkansas. I specialize in working with couples and adult individuals. I am passionate about helping you explore and strengthen your romantic relationships, your relationship with yourself, and connections with others around you! In my role as your therapist, I walk with you through the complexities of your life so you may curate more choices and awareness to foster the type of relationship that brings you peace and satisfaction.

I believe in people's ability to heal and grow after difficult experiences. However, it can be hard to know where to start, who to trust, or what might be helpful. Maybe you experience depression or anxiety, suffer from the consequences of trauma and chronic pain, or would like to repair and strengthen your romantic relationship. Regardless of your life’s journey and obstacles, treatment can help! As a psychologist with a holistic and integrative approach, I utilize evidence-based treatments (the gold standard), while also incorporating other helpful tools depending on your unique concerns.

My practice specializes in marriage counseling and couple therapy. I also work with individuals on a wide-range of mental health, career transition, substance use, and life transition issues. I have worked with more than 2,800 couples in my career, addressing relationship concerns and finding solutions to chronic dissatisfaction, infidelity, poor communication, intimacy problems, and family conflict. For persons who are uncertain about remaining in their marriage, "discernment counseling" is available to help an ambivalent spouse gain clarity about their relationship commitment and options for bringing about needed change.

I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood issues. I help persons and families address communication problems, unhealthy patterns, and rebuilding trust as well as relationship problems including infidelity and blended families and co-parenting. I work with and am welcoming of LGBTQ+ relationships, hetero relationships, poly relationships, kink, BDSM, and sex workers. Additional areas addressed include religious shame surrounding sexuality. I have completed graduate studies in religion and theology and assist persons in dealing with toxic religious wounds.

I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD; however, my primary areas of focus are working within the LGBTQIA+ community and with trauma. I have completed training in several modalities to increase my ability to help people navigate through their struggles. I know the value of therapy for trauma due to my own experiences and try to bring compassion and empathy into every session. I use a variety of techniques and tools, such as EMDR, ego state therapy, and CBT to help tailor therapy to each individual client.

Welcome! I’m glad we found each other. This is a supportive space where you can feel at ease while talking about how things are going with you. Whether you’re dealing with a life transition, anxiety, depression, or family/relationship issues, my aim is to provide support that will help alleviate the weight of your current stressors, assist in processing past experiences, and offer new tools and practices that may illuminate your path forward.

I have worked with clients living with anxiety, depression, adhd, relationship issues, challenging family dynamics, and/or experiencing life transitions. Clients with a goal of understanding and improving their self concept, meaningful relationships and overall peace in their lives are great to work with!

Whether you are struggling with a life change (life-limiting diagnosis, divorce, a new phase of life), a loss (death, a relationship, job, sense of your own independence), feeling stuck (life isn't moving in the direction you had hoped, you want to feel different but just don't know where to start), or you are in pain (physical or emotional), I can be a non-biased sounding board and guide. I like to meet my clients "right where they are" and help you with tools to move in the direction you wish to be. I'm easy to talk to, not afraid to talk about hard things, and mix in my own "humanness" with a dose of humor in our sessions.

At times, we all need assistance with personal growth, relationships, grieving, healing of past abuse, trauma or codependency, building leadership skills, or overcoming expectations. The hardest part is finding where to start. I tailor treatment to meet your specific needs. I work with adult individuals struggling with mood, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, and body image issues.

Welcome! During my career I have primarily worked with adolescents and adults who come from diverse backgrounds with a variety of challenges. I specialize in helping those struggle with issues related to OCD, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, life adjustments, specific LGBTQIA+ issues, and relationship challenges. I believe we are meaning-making creatures who want to live out our values to the best of our abilities, and this can feel impossible without adequate support and tools. My intention is to guide you in living a more meaningful life by building trust, showing compassion, and empowering you on your path towards wellness.

We all have problems and everyone needs help at times. With more than 12 years experience, I provide professional/confidential mental health services to diverse persons. I do not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or personal identification and believe that through connection and compassion we can resolve any problem together. Our past experiences do not define us and our future is not yet written. Help is available and you are not alone. Let's work towards building your life the way it was always meant to be: authentic, fulfilling and empowered. Let's find/develop the best version of yourself!
