About Tabitha

Tabitha King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of clinical experience. She offers a supportive, client-centered approach and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Tabitha provides LGBTQIA+ affirming care and works with young adults and others facing life transitions.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can tell their story and make decisions that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are brought in for emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings.

Tabitha also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, social anxiety, communication difficulties, and challenges related to autism and Asperger syndrome. Her work favors strengths-based techniques and practical steps people can try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is available to help clarify goals and build motivation for change.

She practiced previously in New Mexico and Texas and centers respect, acceptance, and collaboration in sessions. The focus is on helping each person use their existing strengths while learning specific tools for the issues they bring. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Tabitha aims to make that step a little easier.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person’s lead. In practice this looks like Tabitha reflecting concerns back, asking what matters most, and supporting the client’s own decisions. It helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about their next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include simple experiments and practice exercises to change thinking patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT can be useful for self-esteem, anxiety, and day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm current options during the matching and scheduling steps.
