Aritha Yarborough, LCSW

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people build better coping skills when life gets hard. She focuses on practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or parenting strains. Her tone is direct and collaborative so people can feel understood and work toward change.

Aritha uses straightforward methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She blends that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to help people notice what matters most and take actions that fit their values. Mindfulness and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

With five years of experience she has supported people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem challenges, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life transitions such as divorce or adoption-related concerns. Her practice includes attention to both mental health and practical life skills.

Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use outside the therapy hour. Aritha encourages collaboration on treatment plans so interventions match real-life needs. She aims to make sessions direct, skill-focused, and doable for busy lives.

Aritha works from Florida and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and uses multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

Aritha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and learn practical skills to shift them. CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework, and clear goals that translate well to video or messaging formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present; this approach helps with anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

She also draws on client-centered techniques to make sessions collaborative, warm, and focused on each person's priorities. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and how they react to different techniques so the plan feels practical and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth skill teaching and relational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat lets people check in between appointments or fit short sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on coping skills from different locations and schedules.
