About Tabitha
Tabitha Duckworth, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 29 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and related life challenges. Her background includes work with individuals, couples, groups and families and a master’s degree in social work from Case Western Reserve University - Mandel School.
Tabitha uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing approaches. She helps people name difficult emotions and look at how those feelings shape their actions and relationships. Sessions include straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and chances to practice new ways of responding to problems.
Her work often centers on patterns that keep people stuck. That may include communication problems, attachment issues, codependency, or struggles after loss and major life changes. She also addresses concerns like parenting stress, caregiving burden, chronic illness, body image, and addiction-related challenges.
Tabitha aims to identify strengths and motivational steps clients can use between sessions. She emphasizes skill-building for managing anger, mood shifts, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. The focus is on clear, achievable steps rather than abstract theory.
People can expect direct conversation about goals, practical coping tools, and collaborative planning toward specific changes. Her practice draws on decades of clinical work across settings to help people reduce unhelpful patterns and increase functioning in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples identify underlying emotions that drive difficult interaction patterns. It focuses on naming feelings and changing how people respond to each other to reduce repeated conflict and disconnection. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the person, reflects feelings, and supports their own problem solving and decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It provides practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods together based on what helps. That collaborative process helps clarify whether EFT, CBT, client-centered work, or a mix makes the most sense. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and make it possible to join from different locations. They can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions while keeping the focus on practical skills and emotional understanding.Areas of expertise
