About Araby
Araby Boykin, LCMHC, works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias, and problems with mood or self-esteem. She aims to help people find practical ways to feel steadier and more capable. Sessions focus on real changes using the client’s strengths and goals.
She uses short, clear steps to tackle problems. That can mean changing unhelpful thoughts, building new coping skills, or practicing grounding and mindfulness. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change.
Background and approach
Araby brings five years of clinical experience in North Carolina. Her background includes work with mood disorders, personality issues, trauma, and grief. She describes therapy as collaborative and straightforward, not full of jargon.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people try small experiments to test what works. Therapy often includes learning techniques to manage anxiety, practicing responses to triggers, and setting doable goals. Progress is measured in everyday changes rather than labels.
She offers several formats for contact, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. The first step is a short questionnaire to match goals with the right therapist.
How therapy styles translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and then supports them in choosing their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change worried thinking and reduce avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that match those goals. Over a few sessions they review what helps and adjust the plan together to make therapy more useful and workable in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, errands, or parenting duties while still using established therapeutic techniques.
