Carlithea Farrington, LCSW

Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and grief. She presents herself in a warm and down-to-earth way and aims to build honest rapport with each person who comes to therapy.

She has 11 years of experience as a licensed clinician and a longer history in social work and life coaching. That background includes work in schools, government agencies, psychiatric settings, and independent practice. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of concerns, from trauma and abuse to caregiving stress and housing instability.

Carlithea uses an integrative approach and draws on several evidence-informed methods. She adapts her work to fit the person in front of her, focusing on practical steps, clearer communication, and coping skills that match each client's goals. Sessions emphasize respect and treating people the way they want to be treated.

People bring many kinds of problems to her: parenting and blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, infidelity and divorce, workplace stress, addictions, mood disorders, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, sexual assault, and caregiver burnout.

Carlithea aims to partner with clients to set realistic goals and work steadily toward them. She invites clients to discuss what they hope to change and to try strategies that feel manageable. If someone is ready to begin, she listens first and then helps plan the next steps.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on building safer, more connected ways of relating to others. This approach often helps with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and family conflict. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people clarify what matters and to make their own choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carlithea works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. She starts by listening, then suggests strategies to try, and adjusts the plan as the work unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows consistent work through periods of change, so people can keep building skills even when life is hectic.
