About Tabitha

Tabitha King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of professional experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She practices in New Mexico and brings a client-centered, strengths-based perspective that helps individuals identify practical skills and coping strategies tailored to their situation. Her work emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques alongside motivational interviewing to help clients change unhelpful thinking patterns, regulate emotions, and build healthier habits.

Tabitha offers an LGBTQIA+ affirming approach, welcoming clients with compassion and respect while encouraging self-exploration and personal strengths. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on solutions that fit their values and daily life.

Tabitha has experience supporting people facing social anxiety, self-esteem challenges, communication difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome concerns, and issues common among young adults. She frames therapy as a partnership that honors each person as the expert of their own story.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Tabitha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and social phobia. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for situations involving intense emotions or relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjust techniques over time so the plan fits the person's life and priorities rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice newly learned skills between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
