Dr. Arthalia Weekes

Dr. Arthalia Weekes is a licensed social worker with 18 years in mental health care. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to help clients feel seen and heard while working toward clearer goals.

Dr. Weekes uses an approach that looks at the whole person. She considers emotions, thoughts, relationships, and practical life factors when planning sessions. That means conversations can include symptom management, communication practice, and real-life problem solving.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across diverse settings. Dr. Weekes brings experience with trauma, mood concerns, and anxiety, and she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. She adjusts methods to match each person’s needs rather than using a single formula.

People often come for help after separation or through other relationship transitions. Dr. Weekes also addresses issues such as abandonment, blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and forgiveness work. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding of patterns that get in the way.

She holds the credential LSCSW and the LCSW and practices in Kansas. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can be arranged according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques guide online care

Dr. Weekes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope and make change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Dialectical behavior strategies, often shortened to DBT, teach skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then tailor which techniques to try and adjust them over time. Clients and therapist review progress and pick methods that feel like the best fit.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since the profile does not list formats. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can more easily fit check-ins into a busy day, reduce travel time, and use shorter or more frequent appointments when that works better. Online work also lets the therapist and client bring practical problems from everyday life into session for real-time problem solving. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches effectively in remote work while focusing on clear goals and usable skills.
