About Star
Star Hess-Cabarle is a Florida LMHC with ten years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Star also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and a range of related issues that often link to anxiety and relationship difficulty.
Her background includes a master’s degree in exercise and nutrition sciences and experience as a NASM certified personal trainer. That background informs how she talks about the connection between behavior, movement, and mood. In sessions she uses practical strategies alongside talk work to address daily functioning and habits.
Star lists several evidence-based methods among her approaches, including cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills-based strategies. She uses those methods to help people recognize patterns, test new behaviors, and manage strong emotions a bit differently over time. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
She also uses approaches aimed at safety and coping in the wake of trauma and teaches emotion regulation skills drawn from commonly used behavioral methods. That work is presented as skill practice and problem solving rather than abstract theory. Star emphasizes collaboration about which tools to try next.
Star offers services from Florida and notes she accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that clients can cancel at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapy approaches translate to remote sessions
Star uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT-style work in video sessions may include setting specific goals, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together.She also draws on skills-based strategies that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. These are taught as concrete exercises and practice tasks that clients can try in daily life and then discuss in the next session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. That choice is made together and may change as progress and needs evolve.
Her biography references video telehealth as an option, but confirm current session formats before booking to match your schedule. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Others prefer longer meetings for in-depth skill practice; these practical differences can help decide what will work best for your routine.
