Aritha Yarborough

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing strong emotions and big life changes. She recognizes that stress, anger, and overwhelm often come from habits we fall back on. Her aim is to help people find clearer ways to cope and regain a sense of direction.

She draws from several practical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on concrete skills for managing mood, reducing reactivity, and improving daily routines.

With five years of professional experience, she has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting issues, and anger.

Her work often includes coaching around career and life transitions, and attention to complex situations such as co-occurring conditions, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She encourages collaboration when setting goals and building a treatment plan so progress is practical and measurable.

Aritha practices in Florida and offers services in English. International clients are accepted. She emphasizes straightforward, step-by-step changes so people can try new coping tools and notice real differences in how they handle stress.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, with the therapist offering empathy and listening to support clients as they find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try methods that match the client's needs and adjust the plan over time.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists can guide practical skill practice between meetings so changes happen in day-to-day routines.
