Do you offer online therapy in Arkansas?
Yes. CPC offers online therapy for clients throughout Arkansas via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Whether you're in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Fort Smith, or anywhere else in the state, you can meet with a licensed clinician from anywhere you have a private internet connection. Most major insurance plans cover online therapy sessions. To schedule, request an online appointment at cpcarkansas.com or call 501-450-6350.
Online therapy at CPC is not a lesser version of in-person care. You will work with the same licensed clinicians, using the same evidence-based approaches, toward the same goals. Research consistently shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person sessions for most struggles.
All you need is a device with a camera and microphone — a phone, tablet, or laptop — and a private space where you can speak freely. When requesting your appointment, simply note that you prefer online therapy, and we will set you up with the video access information before your first session.
What is EMDR therapy, and does CPC offer it?
Yes, CPC offers EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy in Conway and Cabot, AR, and via online therapy throughout Arkansas. EMDR is an extensively researched, evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD. It uses bilateral stimulation — typically guided eye movements — to help reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories.
EMDR is an eight-phase structured therapy that helps the brain process traumatic memories that have become "stuck." Rather than having clients talk extensively about trauma, EMDR uses brief focused attention on traumatic memories combined with bilateral stimulation to reduce their vividness and emotional charge.
EMDR is recognized by the American Psychological Association, the World Health Organization, and the Department of Veterans Affairs as an effective treatment for PTSD and trauma. Many clients experience meaningful relief in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy alone.
CPC also offers other trauma therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Brainspotting. Your clinician will help determine which approach is best for your specific situation.
What is Spravato, and is it available at CPC?
Yes, CPC offers Spravato® (esketamine) nasal spray treatment in Conway, AR for adults with treatment-resistant depression — meaning depression that has not responded adequately to at least two antidepressant medications. Spravato is FDA-approved, administered under clinical supervision, and is covered by many insurance plans.
Spravato is a breakthrough treatment for people whose depression has not improved with standard antidepressants. It works differently from traditional antidepressants by targeting the NMDA receptor system in the brain, often producing faster results.
At CPC, Spravato is administered in our clinical setting under the supervision of our psychiatric team. The session involves self-administering the nasal spray at the clinic, followed by a monitoring period. Your care team will evaluate whether Spravato is appropriate for your situation and guide you through the process.
To find out if Spravato may be right for you, complete our online questionnaire or request an appointment at cpcarkansas.com.
Does CPC offer marriage counseling or couples therapy?
Yes. CPC offers premarital counseling, marriage therapy, and intensive marriage therapy in Conway and Cabot, AR, and online throughout Arkansas. Sessions are led by licensed therapists with extensive experience in relationship work. Both traditional weekly sessions and multi-hour intensive formats are available for couples needing concentrated support.
Premarital counseling helps engaged couples build a strong relational foundation, understand each other more deeply, and develop skills for communication and conflict before challenges arise.
Marriage therapy helps couples who are already experiencing conflict, disconnection, or deeper wounds — including the aftermath of infidelity, communication breakdown, or seasons of growing apart.
Intensive marriage therapy, offered by Dr. Stephen Bell, LMFT, provides extended sessions (two to six hours) or weekend intensives (one to two days) for couples who need significant breakthrough and cannot wait for weekly progress. This format is particularly effective for couples in crisis or those with long-standing patterns that feel impossible to break.
When requesting your appointment, please indicate that you are seeking premarital, marriage, or intensive marriage therapy.
Do you offer counseling for children and teenagers?
Yes. CPC offers therapy for children and adolescents at our Conway and Cabot locations and via online therapy throughout Arkansas. We help young people navigate behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, social struggles, trauma, and more — while equipping parents with practical tools to support their child at home.
Watching your child struggle is one of the hardest things a parent experiences. Our clinicians are trained to work with children and adolescents in age-appropriate ways — meeting them where they are and helping them develop the skills they need to thrive.
We also believe strongly that healthy parent-child relationships are central to a child's emotional wellbeing. That's why we actively involve parents in the therapeutic process, teaching you how to effectively support your child's growth through behavior management, understanding your child's unique perspective, and your own self-care.
When requesting an appointment for a child, please note that you are seeking child and parent therapy.
Does CPC offer grief counseling?
Yes. CPC offers grief and loss therapy in Conway and Cabot, AR, led by clinicians who are Certified in Thanatology (CT) — the highest level of specialized training in grief, death, and bereavement. We support clients through all forms of loss, including death of a loved one, miscarriage, divorce, pet loss, and disenfranchised grief.
Grief is not one-size-fits-all. It takes a multitude of shapes and is experienced differently by every person — even people in the same family impacted by the same loss. CPC provides a safe place where you and your family can receive support, biblical guidance, and effective treatment tailored to your specific experience.
We also specialize in disenfranchised grief — losses that are sometimes minimized or dismissed by society, such as the loss of a relationship, a miscarriage, suicide loss, or the grief of children who are often overlooked as grievers.
If you are in acute grief or have been struggling to move forward after a loss, please reach out. You do not have to carry this alone.
What is co-parenting counseling, and does CPC offer it?
Yes. CPC offers co-parenting counseling for divorced or separated parents who want to collaborate more effectively for the well-being of their children. CPC is also a Recognized Smart Stepfamily Therapy Provider, offering specialized support for blended families, and provides parenting coordination services for high-conflict custody situations.
Co-parenting counseling helps separated or divorced parents develop communication strategies, manage conflict productively, and keep their children's well-being as the shared focus — even when the relationship between the parents is difficult.
Blended family therapy helps parents, stepparents, and children navigate the complex dynamics that arise when families form through remarriage. Sarah Lindsey, LPC has specific training in this area as a Recognized Smart Stepfamily Therapy Provider.
Parenting coordination is a more structured service designed for high-conflict custody situations. It involves working closely with both parents, their attorneys, and sometimes the court to ensure children are protected from conflict and that parents collaborate effectively day to day. Please note that parenting coordination has limited availability — call us to discuss your situation.
