Carlithea Farrington, LCSW

Carlithea Farrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a licensed professional trained to help people navigate emotional, relational, and life challenges with skill and care. She is known for a personable, dedicated, and genuine style, and brings extensive experience as both a social worker and life coach. Her work has included supporting clients through concerns such as depression and anxiety, stress management, relationship and family conflict, ADHD, parenting challenges, career difficulties, intimate-partner violence, and the impacts of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse and trauma.

She has also helped individuals and families facing complex transitions, including making difficult decisions about placing an elderly relative in short- or long-term care, coping with homelessness or displacement, and managing suicidal ideation. Across settings such as schools, government agencies, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice, she emphasizes dignity and respect, pairing compassion and warmth with a steady commitment to building genuine rapport. She strives not only to treat people the way she would want to be treated, but also in the way each person wants and needs to be treated.

Her therapy style is integrative, drawing from Gestalt, Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal approaches, and Systems Theory. Carlithea Farrington focuses on meeting clients where they are and collaborating to identify the treatment approach that best fits their goals and circumstances. Whether someone is experiencing ongoing conflict at home, challenges at work, difficulties with a child, navigating adoption or foster parenting, or feeling overwhelmed by relationship or financial stress, she aims to partner with clients in a supportive, empowering way as they move toward the changes they want to make.
