Aritha Yarborough , LCSW

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people develop practical ways to cope with life’s unpredictable changes. She recognizes that most people rely on familiar reactions when under stress - such as withdrawing, becoming frustrated, or trying to ignore problems - and she works with clients to replace those patterns with healthier coping strategies.

With experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, she brings specialized training in areas including anxiety, career and relationship conflict, depression, grief, self-esteem, anger management, behavior concerns, stress, trauma, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. Her clinical practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, drawing on a strengths-based perspective to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Aritha emphasizes collaboration when creating treatment plans, inviting clients to participate actively in goal-setting and strategy selection to increase the chances of meaningful progress. She approaches each case with practical support and a focus on building resilience so clients can navigate change with greater confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Aritha frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting them into more constructive beliefs and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help people manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and build distress tolerance in challenging situations. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of her work - this approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration so clients feel heard and can guide the direction of their care.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aritha works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts plans over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for working together by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations including international settings, and continue momentum between meetings, while still receiving support from a licensed therapist.
