Aritha Yarborough, LCSW

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship struggles. She works with individuals to build practical coping skills and to find clearer ways forward. Her approach is conversational and focused on what works for each person.

Aritha explains that people often fall back on familiar reactions when life gets hard. She listens for those patterns and helps people try different responses that fit their goals. Sessions emphasize small, usable changes rather than long lectures.

She draws on a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to address things like mood, substance use, self-esteem, parenting strain, and adjusting to major life changes.

Aritha has five years of experience and holds the LCSW credential in Florida. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a range of concerns from addiction to chronic illness and caregiving stress. Her work includes attention to relationship and intimacy-related issues as well as career and life-transition questions.

She takes a collaborative stance when making a treatment plan. Clients help shape goals and pick strategies that feel doable. The focus is on concrete skills, mindfulness practices, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns to improve day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Aritha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in many sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's experience guides the work and helps build trust.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness techniques at times to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based action. These practices support work on trauma, stress, and managing strong emotions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that seem likely to help. That collaborative decision making can change over time as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to maintain steady progress while adapting the frequency and style of sessions to what works best for the client.
