About Tabitha
Tabitha Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of practice experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and emotionally focused ways of working. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and building skills that fit day-to-day life. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they suit a client's goals.
Tabitha has long experience supporting people through parenting strains, intimacy-related problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, and career stress. She also helps people facing chronic illness, caregiver burden, adoption and foster care matters, and issues around aging. Practical coping strategies are a common focus in her work.
Her approach emphasizes clear steps and concrete strategies rather than abstract talk. Clients often work on small, repeatable practices between sessions. Conversations also address communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, and challenges following separation or divorce.
She aims to help people reduce negative thinking, handle trauma-related reactions, and rebuild routines after major life changes. The emphasis is on skills people can use outside sessions to manage stress, improve relationships, and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Tabitha commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping people discover their own strengths and solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice and change how they respond emotionally.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your goals and preferences and then recommend practical steps. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus more on skill-building, emotion work, or a combination tailored to what you want to change.
