About Aritha
Aritha Yarborough meets people where they are and helps them find clearer ways to cope. She writes short, practical steps to handle stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and the ups and downs of life. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with five years of experience.
She focuses on real-life problems such as depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and career changes. She also helps with trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues that come from loss or major life transitions.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to family dynamics, intimacy-related struggles, blended family issues, and adoption or foster care matters. Aritha draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and actions.
Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help people tolerate difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed. Client-centered work shapes the conversation so goals come from the person in therapy. Dialectical skills are used when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed.
Sessions emphasize practical tools you can use between meetings and steps toward clearer daily functioning. Her practice supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, grief, and life events like divorce or relocation. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
The aim is steady progress through small, doable changes rather than quick fixes.
Flexible approaches for online care
Aritha uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing routines that get in the way of daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy combines acceptance of difficult feelings with clear action steps tied to personal values; it helps when people want to move forward despite ongoing stress or painful emotions.She also uses client-centered therapy, which means conversations focus on the person and their goals. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which approaches fit best, adjusting tools and methods as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and body language. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging offer flexible, ongoing contact and are helpful for people who prefer writing or need easier scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping treatment consistent.
