Hello, my name is Ariela Weston and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama. I have 10 years of experience as both therapist and manager in our field. Since attaining my LICSW in the state of Alabama, and prior, I have been consistently engaged in the treatment of a great variety of client categories, and the administration of different program types. I have directed, managed, and/or supervised treatment programs, for adults, adolescents, and children. I have worked directly with clients with a wide range of concerns including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, autism, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I focus on building strong rapport and respect between client and therapist. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in order to assist clients in making their thinking more positive, decrease negative thinking habits and promote change. My approach also combines Strength-Based perspective, Solution Focused and Motivational interviewing.
My experience has taught me the value of compassion for everyone I have been privileged to serve. My therapy style is warm and interactive. My passion in life is to help others and I believe that the key to therapy with any person is respect. I would be honored if I was given the opportunity to support and empower you.

My experience with Ariela Weston has been nothing but amazing! I wanted to do therapy for at least 2 years before I started on better help, but my fear of just talking to someone held me back! I was extremely nervous when I first started, but Ariela was extremely welcoming, and really eased my stress on starting therapy! I now look forward to my sessions, even if I havent had a hard time that week. I say that, because over the time short time I have spent with her, I really feel like a lot has changed in a positive way for me! She really has made an impact in my life, and I cannot wait to see where I continue to go with her help! Thank you so much Ariela! You truly have helped me so much!

I was extremely skeptical about BetterHelp at first but Ariela has been nothing short of perfect!
