About Aritha
Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of clinical experience. She helps people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, or major life changes. She speaks plain language and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions.
She believes many people cope the same way by habit, even when that habit no longer helps. In sessions she looks for patterns that keep someone stuck and works with them to build different, healthier responses.
Background and approach
That can mean learning new thinking skills, practicing calm strategies, or changing how you approach difficult relationships. Her background includes work across age groups and a range of concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and career stress. She combines several approaches so therapy is tailored to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method.
Aritha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, mindfulness practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas when appropriate. She involves clients in planning treatment so goals and methods fit real life and daily demands. People who come to her can expect practical exercises, straightforward feedback, and attention to what fits their schedule and priorities.
She practices in Florida and offers work that aims to be collaborative and goal-focused.
Approaches that fit online work
Aritha often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and shift mood. ACT helps people clarify values and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult feelings remain.She also uses client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices to help clients feel heard and to build present-moment awareness. She treats choosing an approach as collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods that seem promising, and adjust the plan based on what proves most useful in weekly work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower-bandwidth option is needed or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and skill practice between sessions simple and quick. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when travel or time constraints would otherwise interrupt progress.
