About Carlithea
Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is making daily life harder. Many come to her for help with parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem.
Carlithea draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect how people relate today.
Background and approach
She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and take small steps toward values-driven change. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded in real life demands. Her background includes work in schools, hospitals, government agencies, and independent practice.
That range shaped a flexible style that fits different needs and schedules. She brings warmth and a nonjudgmental attitude to conversations about sensitive topics like domestic violence, sexual assault, addictions, and caregiver stress. Carlithea uses a collaborative approach.
She helps clients set clear goals and tries techniques that match each person’s situation. Progress often looks like better communication, clearer boundaries, improved mood, or fewer overwhelming moments. She holds an LCSW credential and practices from North Carolina.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered in several online formats to fit busy lives. If someone is ready to try therapy, she works with them to find a sensible first step.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape thoughts and feelings, and it helps people notice patterns that affect current bonds and intimacy. This approach is useful for relationship stress, parenting challenges, and healing after trauma.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches how to accept difficult emotions while committing to actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on small, doable behavior changes rather than trying to remove all distress.
Carlithea approaches therapy as a team effort. She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. Finding the right mix of attachment work, ACT, or CBT is part of the first few sessions and is adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping treatment consistent.
