    About Tabitha

    Tabitha King is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of experience. She provides LGBTQIA+ affirming care and focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. Tabitha speaks English and practices in New Mexico.

    Her approach centers on the person's goals and strengths. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find motivation for change. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for practical skills work.

    Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps. Tabitha often helps people build emotion regulation skills, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and improve communication. She emphasizes practical tools people can use between sessions to notice progress and handle setbacks.

    She has worked in New Mexico and Texas settings and has experience with young adult issues and social anxiety. Tabitha also pays attention to concerns related to autism and Asperger Syndrome and to self-esteem and self-love struggles.

    People who choose her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere and help naming small next steps. She encourages people to move at their own pace and to bring what matters most to them into sessions.

  2. How practical therapy approaches fit into online care

    Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by asking open questions and reflecting what matters most to them. It can be useful for building momentum around big or small goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes following the person's lead and offering nonjudgmental support, which helps people feel heard and understood while they decide what to work on.

    Finding the right approach is often a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different styles. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and manageable.

    For practical benefits, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to maintain continuity when schedules change. Some people find shorter check-ins easier by phone or audio only, while others prefer video for face-to-face interaction; confirm available formats before booking. The focus remains on building skills, increasing motivation, and improving communication in ways that slot into everyday life.
