Ari Carden is a licensed clinical social worker in California (CA LCSW 111966) with 20 years of professional experience. She is a female therapist of color who assists people coping with stress and anxiety, grieving loss, managing depression, and navigating life changes.
She works from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own story and comes to therapy with strengths that can be built on to address challenges. Her approach focuses on identifying and mobilizing those resources while offering guidance through difficult transitions.
Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, she honors that step and supports clients through the early stages of treatment and beyond.
Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
A key benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options helps make therapy easier to fit into daily life.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit.
