About Tabitha

Tabitha Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of practice experience. She focuses on helping people move through major life changes, reduce overwhelming stress, and rebuild after loss. Tabitha listens with warmth and helps clients find practical steps forward.

She uses straightforward talk therapy to uncover strengths and build motivation for change. Conversations focus on what feels most important to the client and on small, manageable steps to improve day-to-day life. That might mean working on negative thinking, handling relationship problems, or coping with grief and trauma.

Over her career Tabitha has worked in many settings with individuals, couples, groups, and families. She draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Clients can expect a collaborative style where their goals guide the pace and methods of work.

Tabitha helps people address concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing chronic illness, attachment or blended family issues, and life transitions like separation or loss.

Her training and long experience inform a flexible, person-focused approach. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Tabitha practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people clarify what they want to change and why. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and use that understanding to improve important relationships and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences rather than assuming one method will fit everyone.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions to fit around work or family time. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or phone-only sessions when that works better. Discuss practical details like timing and session length when arranging your first appointments.
