Tabitha King, LCSW

Tabitha King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity-related stress. She practices in New Mexico and brings four years of therapy experience to her work. Tabitha emphasizes respect and acceptance in every session.

Her style centers on the person's goals and strengths. She uses client-centered talk to listen and reflect so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her approach and is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes.

Tabitha also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and coping tools for intense feelings. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or feeling stuck. These methods are applied gently and at a pace the person chooses.

She works with a range of concerns including stress, social anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma and abuse. Tabitha offers affirming care for LGBT-identifying people and focuses on young adult issues and communication challenges when they come up.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. People can expect to set small, achievable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress together. Tabitha encourages anyone who feels ready to reach out and take the first step toward feeling better.

Blending CBT and Skills-Based Work Online

Tabitha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple exercises people can practice between sessions.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. These DBT-informed tools help when emotions feel intense and when better coping strategies are needed.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tabitha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video works well for longer conversations and skill practice, phone can be a good shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief updates or coaching between appointments. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can access consistent support when it fits their schedule.
