About Aritha
Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She sees people for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, career worries, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes.
She explains that many people fall back on familiar habits when stressed. Those habits can be withdrawing, getting angry, avoiding problems, or feeling overwhelmed. She helps people notice those patterns and develop more helpful ways of responding in daily life.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and mindfulness. Sessions emphasize practical steps - noticing thoughts and behaviors, trying new responses, and building small skills that fit into ordinary routines.
Aritha says she prefers to collaborate on a plan. That means setting clear goals, practicing techniques between meetings, and checking what is or isn’t working. The focus is on concrete strategies for managing feelings, improving communication, and reducing unhelpful habits.
She has experience with co-occurring conditions and substance concerns and has worked with people across many life stages. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The next step is to use the site matching and scheduling tools to set up a first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Aritha combines clear, skills-based methods that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing internal experiences and choosing actions that match personal values even when feelings are difficult. Client-centered methods prioritize the person's perspective and use active listening to shape goals and next steps.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns and goals, try methods that suit your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps you make progress. Sessions can mix techniques from CBT, ACT, and client-centered work so you get practical tools and supportive guidance.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring real examples to discuss during a meeting. Ask about the current session formats when you schedule so you know what to expect.
