Aritha Yarborough, LCSW

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing life changes, stress, and emotional strain. She speaks plainly and works with clients to build better ways to cope when things feel overwhelming.

She sees adults and younger clients and draws on five years of clinical experience in Florida. Her practice addresses anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and caregiver stress, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and concerns that come with aging and geriatric issues.

In sessions she uses practical, evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, dialectical behavior tools, acceptance and commitment ideas, and a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals central. She focuses on concrete skills you can use between sessions - for example managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or building routines that reduce stress.

She also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, cancer-related stress, and coping after separation or disaster. Aritha encourages collaboration when designing a plan so the work matches each person’s needs and daily life.

Her aim is straightforward: help people find clearer choices and steady ways to cope. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, habits, and daily routines. That plan can shift as progress is made so sessions stay useful and relevant.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting appointments into a busy week, keeping check-ins brief when needed, and avoiding travel time. Virtual work also makes it easier to continue therapy after a move or while living abroad. Discuss format preferences during the matching process so scheduling and session flow match everyday life.
