About Kathryn

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, and other life challenges listed in her profile.

She listens to what is happening now and asks about patterns that repeat over time. That can include recurring relationship problems, trouble sleeping, struggles with substance use, or difficulty managing intense emotions. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through what feels most urgent.

Kathy draws on several approaches when planning work with someone. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small action. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also relies on client-centered listening to make space for each person to set the pace.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work, completed in 1996, and clinical experience with trauma, mood disorders, and addiction-related concerns. That history informs how she responds when trauma or long-term patterns come up in sessions.

People who contact her are asked about immediate needs and practical goals. The first steps include completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small, concrete steps toward those values even when anxiety is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and pacing, giving them space to name what matters and set goals.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize values-based action, skill practice, or open-ended exploration.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also allow video or audio meetings when sitting face-to-face feels difficult, and it supports continuity of care when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals help clients shape practical plans that work with daily routines and goals.
