About Aritha
Aritha Yarborough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to help parents and caregivers find clearer ways to handle daily stress and parenting challenges. She writes plans with people so they can try new coping skills and see what works for their family. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps you can use right away.
Aritha has five years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
These include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting pressures. In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and identify values that guide change.
Sessions combine skill work, reflective listening, and concrete strategies to manage everyday struggles. She also supports people dealing with complex life events such as adoption and foster care questions, blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and divorce or separation. Those topics are explored with practical tools and step-by-step planning.
Aritha involves clients in choosing goals and tracking progress. She uses collaboration to shape treatment so it fits each person’s life. Her aim is to leave clients with clear skills they can use between meetings.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting choices when someone wants more consistent direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day parenting demands.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Aritha collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. They will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
