About Carlithea
Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma. She presents as warm and down-to-earth and aims to build respectful, practical partnerships with clients. Many who reach out are looking for steady guidance through life changes and painful events.
She draws on 11 years of clinical experience and uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on concrete skills like coping strategies, communication techniques, and steps to reduce overwhelming feelings. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in what each person needs right now. Carlithea has worked in a range of settings, including schools, government agencies, psychiatric care, and independent practice.
That background informs a flexible style that can adapt to different situations, such as parenting stress, workplace challenges, or dealing with the aftermath of abuse. Her approach attends to relationships and how they shape emotions and behavior. She helps people untangle family and partner conflicts, improve intimacy, and address issues related to adoption, foster care, or blended families.
She also supports people facing grief, life transitions, and questions about purpose. Sessions can include problem-solving for money and career worries, tools for mood management, and practical steps after experiences of domestic violence or sexual assault. Carlithea works with clients in North Carolina and focuses on building steady progress one step at a time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Carlithea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, or when worry gets in the way of meaningful life steps.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps when intimacy, trust, or family patterns are causing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then combine methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online formats offer practical options for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is wanted. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in quickly, use short coaching-style support, or continue work between sessions. These choices make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting sessions into daily routines.
