Aritha Yarborough, LCSW

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people steady themselves when life feels overwhelming. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people respond to stress, loss, and big changes. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at teaching skills people can use between sessions.

She sees issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people navigating relationship strain, parenting challenges, career transitions, and the effects of chronic illness. These concerns often show up as patterns of reacting that make life harder, and she works to break those patterns.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to build tolerance for difficult feelings and strengthen everyday coping. Sessions emphasize collaboration on a clear treatment plan and practical exercises to practice between meetings.

With five years of practice, she has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a range of issues. She encourages people to take an active role in shaping goals and tracking progress. The focus is on small, steady changes that fit a person’s life.

Aritha practices in Florida and offers care in English. If someone wants to start, she guides them through setting goals and choosing strategies that feel manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Sessions include trying techniques together and adjusting plans based on what helps most.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting care into a busy week, keeping progress going between appointments, and making it easier to join from a variety of locations. If someone prefers a shorter check-in or not using video, they should confirm whether those options are available when scheduling.
