About Aritha

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship challenges, and anger. She also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain, substance concerns, and life changes.

Aritha describes common reactions to stress as confusion, withdrawal, frustration, or anger. She helps people notice their habits and practice different ways of coping that fit daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use when feelings rise or situations feel out of control.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means work in sessions often includes looking at patterns of thinking and behavior, trying new ways of responding, and building skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people stay present and notice triggers without getting overwhelmed.

Aritha aims to set goals together with each person and to involve clients in planning their care. She frames treatment as collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what will work in everyday routines. Her approach emphasizes clear steps and skill practice over long lectures.

Her background includes experience with a wide range of concerns across the lifespan, and she lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, blended family stress, chronic illness, and coping after loss. Sessions are offered in English and accept international clients, but confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with persistent anger, avoidance, and getting stuck when life changes occur. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior to find practical shifts that reduce stress and reactivity. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing triggers that lead to anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skill-based work in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when strong feelings affect relationships.

Finding the best mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative planning includes setting clear goals, choosing practical skills to practice between sessions, and checking in about what is or is not working.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, join sessions when travel is difficult, or focus on skills practice without needing long commutes. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while keeping the work focused on skills, goal setting, and making small changes that matter in everyday life.
