About Arleen

Arleen Faulkner greets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She focuses on clear, steady support so individuals can face stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, or depression and find practical ways forward. Faulkner has 30 years of clinical experience and holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC.

She centers sessions on helping people build self-love and discover a sense of life purpose.

Background and approach

Conversations are direct and compassionate, with attention to what matters most to the person in front of her. In therapy she helps clients sort through work strain, relationship transitions, and midlife crossroads. She also supports people dealing with body image, separation and divorce, forgiveness work, and questions about identity and meaning.

Sessions aim to surface strengths and small steps that feel doable between meetings. Her method is collaborative. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then tries practical ways to change them.

The goal is increased resilience and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. People who value straightforward guidance and steady encouragement will likely find her approach useful. Faulkner frames growth as a series of small, manageable changes that add up to real difference over time.

Online support

Approach and online session options

Arleen Faulkner uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she uses is goal-focused problem solving, which breaks larger worries into small, achievable steps to reduce anxiety and build confidence. Another is supportive, insight-oriented work that looks at patterns in relationships and self-image to find new ways of relating and making decisions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and realistic for day-to-day life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video lets people maintain face-to-face discussion when useful. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
