About Aarin
Aarin Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Arkansas and Louisiana with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, family issues, grief, and parenting. She also pays attention to related areas such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Her sessions are straightforward and interactive. She listens and asks practical questions. Conversations often include noticing patterns, testing small changes, and practicing new ways of responding at home.
She uses client-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thoughts that influence feelings and behavior. Trauma-focused work addresses past harm and its present effects.
Mindfulness-based practices are offered to help with stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions. In short meetings she might teach a single breathing or grounding exercise to try between sessions. In longer work she helps people build routines that reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Aarin has worked across age groups and a wide range of concerns. She aims to treat each person as an individual and to avoid labels. People who contact her typically want practical steps for managing day-to-day family strain and parenting stresses.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Aarin uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting back what is said, and shaping goals based on the client's priorities. It helps people clarify what matters most and feel heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT in sessions includes assigning simple practices to try between meetings, tracking patterns, and testing small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or improve communication at home.
She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects current functioning. That work looks at how traumatic events continue to influence reactions and relationships, and it proceeds at a pace set by the client.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best, based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to set priorities and try techniques to see what helps.
