About Tabitha
Tabitha Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 29 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, parenting, and self-esteem. Tabitha also lists work around adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric concerns.
She uses plain, direct conversation to help people recognize their strengths and next steps. Sessions often focus on practical skills for managing difficult feelings, reducing negative thinking, and coping with life changes. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to shape small, manageable steps.
Tabitha also applies client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas when conversations turn to relationships and parenting concerns. That means attention to what feels most important to the person in the room and clear, actionable ways to improve communication and connection. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to shift habits or face resistance to change.
Across nearly three decades in social work, she has worked with individuals, couples, groups, and families. Her experience includes supporting people through trauma and loss, addiction-related struggles, and chronic health or caregiving stress. She helps people translate insight into everyday routines that make life more manageable.
People considering work with her should expect straightforward discussion about goals, options, and small steps to try between sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session where priorities and practical next steps are set.
How sessions work
How Tabitha’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their priorities. It helps clarify goals and decide concrete steps to take between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches tools to change unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name hurt or disconnection in relationships and then try different ways of responding to improve closeness.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs and goals, and may combine techniques as appropriate. That choice is revisited if something doesn’t feel helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are delivered. 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. They can also let people use mindfulness exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments between meetings, making small changes in everyday life.
