About Tabitha
Tabitha King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and New Mexico with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and supports LGBTQ clients. She also addresses self-esteem concerns and issues common in young adulthood.
She uses a client-centered approach and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when helpful. Sessions are focused and practical. Conversations often include identifying patterns, testing small behavior changes, and learning skills to manage strong emotions.
Tabitha has experience supporting people across different ages as they navigate transitions and complex life events in New Mexico and Texas. That background informs how she structures sessions - clear goals, straightforward skill practice, and regular check-ins on progress. She emphasizes the person’s own experience as the guide for treatment decisions.
In work with LGBTQ clients she aims to be affirming and respectful, centering each person’s needs and identity in session. With social anxiety or communication problems she often uses role practice and stepwise exposure tasks to build confidence.
People who choose her can expect concise, goal-oriented conversations that prioritize coping skills and workable strategies. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's scheduling tools.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s goals so sessions stay relevant to daily life and pressing concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Sessions may include tracking patterns, testing small changes, and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Typical work includes learning breathing and grounding techniques, distress tolerance strategies, and stepwise emotion regulation exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on needs and goals. That collaborative process can include checking progress and adjusting techniques over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT or DBT exercises to video or phone conversations so skill practice fits everyday routines and schedules.
