About Aritha

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of life changes. She also addresses blended family issues and parenting concerns that come up when households merge.

She uses straightforward methods to help people develop new coping skills. Sessions focus on identifying what is not working and trying small, practical changes. That might mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, adjust thinking patterns, or practice new communication habits around co-parenting and stepfamily routines.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That mix lets her move between skill teaching, emotion regulation, and values-driven choices depending on the problem at hand. Clients can expect a collaborative planning style rather than a prescriptive script.

Aritha has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, intimacy issues, and career stress. She also lists additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and divorce and separation.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She asks people to try concrete strategies between meetings and then reviews what helps and what needs changing. This keeps work moving and makes progress measurable.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action guided by those values. It is useful for coping with life changes, grief, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative decision is revisited as work progresses so methods can change if they are not helping.

Confirm specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and how the subscription model works so therapy can be arranged around parenting, work, or stepfamily routines.
