About Carlithea
Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience. She aims to create warm, respectful sessions where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, mood challenges, and parenting strains. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, designed for someone who wants clear steps and real listening.
She draws from several approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
That includes the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Attachment-Based ideas to understand early connection and its effects on present relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques also appear in her work when helpful. Carlithea has worked in schools, government agencies, psychiatric settings, and independent practice.
That variety shaped her ability to help with issues like adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, domestic violence, infidelity, grief, and workplace strain. She emphasizes treating people with dignity and adapting treatment to each person’s preferences. Sessions focus on identifying goals, building practical skills, and improving communication patterns.
Carlithea partners with people to set manageable steps and notices what’s working along the way. She welcomes conversations about life purpose, self-worth, recovery from abuse, and everyday challenges that make life harder to manage.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online work
Many of her sessions use Gottman Method ideas to look at how people communicate and handle conflict, which can help with recurring relationship patterns and improving everyday interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match a person’s values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life-direction concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy helps map how early relationships influence current closeness and trust, often clarifying patterns in parenting and adult partnerships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carlithea will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the person’s needs, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to practical problems rather than sticking to one method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, flexible touchpoints between longer sessions. These options support consistent care while fitting work, childcare, and travel schedules.
