Arian Englesson, LMHC

Arian Englesson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience who focuses on helping people through life changes and personal struggles. She centers much of her work on women's issues and supports people managing mood changes, parenting concerns, and relationship strain. Her approach aims to help clients find practical ways to feel better and move forward.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based methods to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. Sessions often include concrete skills and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Arian also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and track progress.

Her style is warm, direct, and personable with a sense of humor. She offers straightforward feedback and hands-on tools rather than lengthy theory talks. When helpful, she brings in expressive activities like art, music, movement, or storytelling to open new ways of working through issues.

She has particular experience with perinatal and postpartum mood concerns, eating and body-image issues, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include fertility-related stress, life-purpose questions, midlife challenges, and seasonal mood changes.

Arian trained at the University of Central Florida, earning a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. She also has background as a hypnobirthing instructor, registered yoga teacher, and trained labor doula, which inform her mind-body orientation. She lives in Florida and accepts clients both locally and internationally.

How online sessions use practical methods like CBT and mindfulness

Arian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include homework exercises and small experiments to try between meetings, which can be easy to track during online work.

She also draws on client-centered techniques that focus on listening and building a trusting connection. That approach emphasizes the person’s goals and uses the therapist's responses to help people clarify what matters most to them.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches together to see what fits best. Adjustments can be made as progress is observed or as priorities change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions fit times with lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter interaction is needed during a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people access therapy from different places and routines.
