About Aritha

Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people cope with major life changes and everyday stress. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical ways to manage anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults who need clear steps to move forward.

In sessions she uses methods that look at thoughts, behaviors, and values. That can mean practicing small skills to reduce strong emotions or trying new ways to handle conflict. She also draws on mindfulness to help people become calmer and more present during hard moments.

Yarborough has five years of clinical experience. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on issues like trauma, addiction, depression, and co-occurring disorders. Her background includes work with caregivers, people facing illness or chronic pain, and those navigating adoption or blended family challenges.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered (Person-Centered) Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She invites clients to collaborate on a treatment plan and focuses on skills that can be used between sessions. That makes therapy feel more like coaching toward concrete goals.

People who choose Yarborough can expect a practical, paced process with an emphasis on coping strategies and values-based goals. She aims to help clients build tools that fit their daily life and help when new challenges arise.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, value-driven steps. It can help with life transitions, grief, and long-term stress by turning values into practical actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts and behaviors and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and helps you find your own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, needs, and preferences during early sessions and suggest methods that fit you. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and skill practice between sessions in their daily routines. Licensed professionals can help tailor session pacing and homework so therapy works with your day-to-day commitments rather than against them.
