Tabitha Duckworth, LCSW

Tabitha Duckworth is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience. She offers practical, down-to-earth care that focuses on what people need right now. Tabitha listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients find small changes that add up to better days.

Her main styles include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy, with elements of emotionally-focused work and mindfulness. That means sessions mix practical skill-building with attention to feelings and relationships. Clients often learn ways to challenge unhelpful thinking, manage stress, and shift patterns that cause pain.

Tabitha has experience across many life challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, and caregiving stress. She also addresses concerns such as body image, chronic illness, aging, adoption and foster care, and major life transitions. Her background supports people facing both everyday problems and complex, overlapping issues.

Her approach is collaborative and hopeful. Conversations are aimed at identifying strengths, building motivation, and creating concrete steps forward. Sessions can include short-term focused work or longer-term support depending on what someone needs.

Tabitha practices from Florida and offers care in English. She provides multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and lifestyle. If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling to set the first appointment.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Tabitha combines cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to address thoughts, feelings, and daily habits. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and learning practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and building on a person’s strengths to support motivation and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tabitha works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can include skill practice, emotional reflection, and problem-solving so the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins, homework review, or shorter conversations between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy lives.
