Dr. Arthalia Weekes

Dr. Arthalia Weekes, LSCSW and LCSW, has practiced in the mental health field for 18 years. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Dr. Weekes also focuses on issues such as abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and to test small changes that can feel doable. She pays attention to how emotions, thoughts, relationships, and life circumstances interact. That means conversations can move between past events, present relationships, and current coping strategies.

Dr. Weekes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates methods to match what each person needs. In session she may combine approaches to address trauma symptoms, mood regulation, or relationship conflicts. She describes this as working with concrete skills alongside deeper processing so people can manage symptoms while addressing core problems.

People meet here to reduce distress and to find clearer steps forward after big changes. She helps with practical communication skills, managing impulses and difficult emotions, and navigating separation or infidelity concerns. Treatment also covers complex topics like dissociation, forgiveness, guilt, and domestic violence recovery.

Her practice is based in Kansas and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a short questionnaire and a first appointment are used to match goals and decide next steps. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Dr. Weekes describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One approach focuses on skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance - teaching concrete strategies to manage intense feelings, reduce impulsivity, and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms by helping people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact on relationships and mood.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to emphasize skill-building, deeper processing, or a mix of both.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing to travel, or choosing a session type that uses less bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so progress continues between appointments.
