About Tabitha

Tabitha Duckworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 29 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, addictions, and family of origin concerns. Tabitha also supports people facing parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem problems, and life changes.

She uses clear, practical talk in sessions and focuses on helping people notice patterns that come from how they grew up. That can include attachment and blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and problems with communication or commitment. She also addresses longer-term health and caregiving stresses such as chronic illness, cancer, and caregiver strain.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are added when useful to build coping skills and support behavior change.

Tabitha has worked with individuals, couples, groups, and families over her career. She aims to help people find strengths, develop practical skills, and reduce the daily burden of worry or negative thinking. Her background includes a master’s degree in social work from Case Western Reserve University - Mandel School of Social Work.

To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist and client set goals together and adjust pacing to what feels useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured steps to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting this often means setting concrete practice tasks between sessions and reviewing progress together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotional responses shape relationship patterns and helps people try new ways of responding to each other, which can be discussed and practiced in remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum while they use CBT exercises, practice EFT communication, or build mindfulness habits with support from a licensed professional.
