Arthur (AJ) Spoerner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience supporting adults and adolescents. He specializes in working with complex trauma and abuse, grief, anger management, depression, ADHD, stress and anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue.
He has a focused interest in offering interventions and practical strategies for people living with chronic pain, chronic illness or disability, distress related to cancer treatment, and end-of-life concerns. Arthur aims to help clients identify and change negative thinking patterns and beliefs that influence behavior and cause distress.
Arthur holds Indiana state licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker; his registration is recorded as IN LCSW 34001980A, which reflects completion of required clinical training and state licensure standards. He offers integrated interventions tailored to adults and adolescents.
Arthur provides counseling by audio or video only. His availability is limited to evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Initial sessions are 45 minutes, with subsequent sessions lasting 30 minutes.
He checks messages once per day, typically in the evening, and any messages left after 8:30 pm will be answered the following day. Arthur does not provide emergency services. If a client feels they need urgent help or are in crisis at any time, they should call 1-800-273-8255, dial 911, or go to their local emergency room for immediate assistance.
Choosing a counselor is an important step. Arthur respects that decision and would be honored to work with individuals who feel he may be a good fit.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been demonstrated to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, and other commitments.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they feel a different match would be better. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible and effective path for addressing everyday mental health concerns and supporting personal growth.
