About Carlithea
Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and trauma. She offers steady, practical support and aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on real-life change.
She brings 11 years of clinical experience working across schools, agency settings, psychiatric care, and independent practice. That background means she is familiar with family conflict, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and issues related to adoption and foster care.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting people affected by intimate-partner violence and sexual assault. Carlithea uses a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment work, and acceptance strategies to tailor therapy to each person. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills you can try between meetings, and improving everyday functioning.
She emphasizes treating people with dignity and listening to their preferences for care. People often come for help with communication problems, blended family stress, caregiver burnout, mood disorders, and concerns around intimacy or self-esteem. She also addresses financial stress, career uncertainty, and issues related to addiction and bipolar mood patterns.
The work is paced around what the person needs. If someone wants a collaborative therapist who combines practical tools with respectful listening, Carlithea aims to offer that support. Initial steps usually involve clarifying concerns, identifying short-term goals, and deciding on approaches that fit the person’s life and values.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, and mood concerns by teaching practical skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. It can help people understand repeated relationship struggles and build different ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adapt methods over time. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements from different approaches depending on progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule regular sessions and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
