About Kathryn

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), is licensed in Florida and has nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and addictions. She uses a combination of approaches she lists, and she talks with people about current problems and feelings to figure out next steps.

Kathy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. She describes psychodynamic psychotherapy in her background and aims to get to the root of ongoing relationship patterns and mood concerns. Sessions involve talking through what is happening now and patterns that repeat over time.

She supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting strain, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, and substance use issues. Kathy also lists work related to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Kathy trained at Columbia University School of Social Work for her master’s degree. Her practice emphasizes clear discussion of problems, practical interventions from CBT and ACT, and attention to relationship dynamics when relevant. She invites potential clients to talk about what they are feeling and to plan a path forward.

Sessions are organized around the person’s immediate concerns and longer term patterns. Scheduling and session details are handled through the platform process used to book an initial visit. The first step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that aligns with personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s perspective, helping people feel heard and guiding their own problem solving.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation. Adjustments are made as treatment proceeds so techniques match the person’s needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified 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, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use the approaches above in remote sessions to address relationship concerns, trauma-related symptoms, mood issues, and stress management while focusing on practical tools and in-session conversation.
