Professional statement

Ariella Dragonberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida, bringing a wealth of knowledge and creativity to her practice. She is professionally trained in a variety of evidence-based modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Problem Solving Therapy (PST). While Ariella takes a well-rounded, scientific approach to therapy, she has simultaneously witnessed that the most profound healing often happens when combining these practices with more exploratory methods. Play Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Music & Poetry Therapy, and Theatre Therapy are all effective tools for those who feel limited by traditional talk therapy. Ariella is dedicated to fostering spiritual growth alongside emotional healing, recognizing the vital connection between mind, body, and spirit.


Message to clients

Though she is equipped to conduct 1:1 psychotherapy for all ages, Ariella specializes in working with adolescents, offering after-school and evening group sessions in a safe, fun, and collaborative environment. Using a Trauma-Informed Care approach, she believes in the power of advocacy for the benefit of all–particularly those who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or neurodivergent.

Whether through confidence building, creative discovery, challenging societal norms, or guiding spiritual exploration, Ariella’s therapeutic approach focuses on unlocking her clients’ unique potential for holistic well-being and personal growth.

"If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be." -Maya Angelou
