About Arlene
Arlene Bishop is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 28 years of experience. She supports adults dealing with anger alongside related concerns like anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and stress.
She uses a mix of practical approaches rather than a single method. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and learning ways to respond differently when anger flares. She draws on client-centered work to listen and clarify what matters most to each person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit. That approach looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed into strong emotions and teaches concrete steps to shift patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are also used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance need more practice.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with noticing triggers and reducing reactivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) elements support understanding how feelings connect to relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. The goal in sessions is practical: reduce impulsive reactions, rebuild trust, and improve communication.
Arlene aims to produce straightforward plans and tools people can use between sessions. She combines years of social work experience with these methods to help clients manage anger, address trauma, and handle life changes without jargon.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Arlene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in sessions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, actions, and strong emotions and teaches step-by-step strategies to change unhelpful patterns. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce impulsive responses and improve relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas to prioritize what matters to each person. That means she listens first, then collaborates on which methods to use. Together the client and therapist decide which approach fits the person's goals and day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a lunch break, avoid commuting, or allow a shorter check-in when life is busy. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and how to use the techniques between appointments so learning transfers to everyday situations.
