About Arica

Arica Havis is an LPC with a decade of professional experience providing care in Alabama.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to address concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and challenges with concentration and memory often experienced by people with ADHD.

Arica emphasizes clients' strengths and frames each person as the expert of their own story, using therapeutic tools to build on resilience and practical coping skills. Her style centers on empowerment and collaboration, acknowledging the courage it takes to seek change and offering steady support through the process.

In sessions she attends to related areas including communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, forgiveness, and questions of life purpose. The aim is to help clients move toward a more fulfilling and happier life through tailored strategies and empathetic guidance.

Practical therapeutic techniques for online care

Arica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention-related challenges. She also applies EMDR, a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can support recovery from abuse and traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan over time so the methods align with what helps the individual most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from different locations within Alabama, and choose the communication style that feels most manageable while working toward therapeutic goals.
