Christiane C. Long, LCSW

Christiane C. Long, LCSW At times we need an outside perspective, and maybe just someone to listen to us. I believe in holding healthy space for those in need of healing.

In order to tailor treatment to each client's needs, I tend to pull from various tenets and modalities of evidence-based therapies. I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and understand the mind-body connection; I am also trained in EMDR for trauma treatment. In therapy, I take a non-judgmental and accepting stance in order to work with a diverse population. LGBTQIA Ally and Welcoming, Sex-Positive, Polyamorous and non-monogamy affirming, Kink-allied and aware, and supporter of diversity, equality, and equity.

Social Workers, thank you for all that you do. This month and every month.

Social Workers, thank you for all that you do. This month and every month.

⭐️ Happy Social Work Month ⭐️
Social workers show up in hospital rooms during life-changing diagnoses. They sit with families navigating grief, uncertainty, and impossible decisions. They support children learning to feel safe again, parents trying to hold things together, and communities facing challenges bigger than any one person can solve.
They advocate in courtrooms, classrooms, clinics, shelters, and at the Capitol. They translate complicated systems into human language. They help people find stability when life has pulled the rug out from underneath them.
Most of this work happens quietly. There is no applause after a successful safety plan. No headline when a client finally sleeps through the night. No award ceremony for the social worker who stayed late, made one more call, or refused to give up on someone others had written off.
But the impact is real — every single day across Arkansas and beyond.
To every social worker serving with compassion, courage, and integrity:
We see you.
We appreciate you.
And we thank you.
Happy Social Work Month. 💛

Most days, I think as social workers, we are carrying more than we would like to admit. It is like having a backpack on that you forgot you were wearing until the straps start cutting in. Inside are pieces of other people’s lives: things clients trusted us with, things we witnessed and could not u...

So proud to be part of this group.

The past few days have felt heavy for so many of us in the mental health field. As clinicians in Arkansas, we already work within a system stretched thin by workforce shortages, geographic barriers, and limited funding. And now, with the sudden termination of hundreds of federal addiction and mental...
