About Aritha
Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults and young people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship strain, addictions, ADHD, or the practical fallout from life changes. Sessions focus on building clearer coping strategies and reducing patterns that keep problems stuck.
She notices how people revert to familiar reactions when under pressure - withdrawing, snapping, freezing, or avoiding problems. Her work aims to help people recognize those patterns and try new ways of responding that fit their goals. That often means learning short skills and testing them in everyday life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness. In practice this looks like identifying thoughts and behaviors that drive anger or anxiety, practicing grounding and emotion-regulation skills, and clarifying personal values to guide choices. Sessions include coaching on skills and discussion about what works between meetings.
Aritha has experience across a wide range of concerns including trauma, parenting strain, intimacy issues, career stress, and co-occurring substance use and mood conditions. She also lists areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress among her focus areas.
She asks clients to collaborate on treatment goals and to try practical steps between sessions. People who want straightforward, skills-based work around anger, stress, or relationship conflict will find this a practical approach to building healthier habits.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful when anger, avoidance, or worry get in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or anger, and then practicing different responses. CBT works well for problem solving and skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to see which methods fit a person's goals and daily life, and adjusts the plan as needed. That means trying skills, checking what helped, and shifting emphasis if something isn’t working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for focused skill practice between meetings. They also allow for different check-in lengths and simpler ways to work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Licensed professionals can tailor session pace and practice assignments to what works in a client’s routine.
