About Carlithea
Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with issues related to trauma, addiction, grief, parenting, intimacy, and self-esteem. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, focused on practical steps that fit each person's life.
Carlithea brings 11 years of clinical experience to her practice in North Carolina. She draws on several therapy approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.
How Carlithea works
Sessions focus on clear goals, skills to manage emotions, and improving communication at home and work. She often supports people navigating blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and decisions around divorce or separation. Carlithea also addresses issues such as infidelity, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, and workplace stress.
Her work includes helping people with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and problems related to money and life purpose. Her style blends acceptance and action - teaching skills to tolerate difficult feelings while making changes that matter. Attachment-focused ideas are used to understand relationship patterns, and cognitive-behavioral techniques help shift unhelpful thoughts.
Dialectical strategies can be added when emotional regulation or intense reactions are a challenge. Carlithea approaches each person with respect and curiosity. She partners with clients to set realistic goals and practices that fit everyday life.
People who want straightforward, compassionate guidance for real problems may find this approach useful.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It teaches simple exercises for handling difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with practical skills. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and work or relationship problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people build healthier ways of relating.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time. This collaborative process helps find methods that feel useful and manageable for daily life.
Online therapy offers several convenient options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent progress.
