Carlithea Farrington

Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She brings a direct, warm style and practical support to sessions. Carlithea works to understand each person's situation and priorities before suggesting next steps.

She has 11 years of experience as an LCSW in North Carolina and draws on a broad background that includes work in schools, government agencies, psychiatric hospital settings, and private practice. That variety shapes her approach and helps her tailor support to different life challenges.

Carlithea uses a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. She blends techniques to match what a person needs, rather than relying on a single method.

In practical terms, sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and improving daily functioning. She helps people reduce intense reactions, repair communication, set boundaries, and manage mood and stress so they can handle difficult moments more calmly.

People seeking help for trauma, grief, addictions, parenting strain, or life transitions can find concrete strategies and steady support. Carlithea invites people to describe their priorities and then works with them to set achievable steps toward those goals.

Approaches that guide online work

Carlithea often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life direction issues.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different responses. CBT is practical and useful for changing reactions that fuel anger, depression, or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carlithea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. The plan is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress and needs change.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about current session options when you start the matching process so you know which formats are available.
