About Kathryn

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers calm, practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and grief. She brings nine years of experience helping clients navigate life changes and work through painful patterns. Kathy writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters to each person.

She uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose different actions. In sessions she combines skills-based work with time to talk about deeper patterns that keep recurring. That mix can help with issues such as depression, addiction, intimacy-related concerns, and low self-esteem.

Kathy has training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which looks at underlying causes of repeated problems in relationships and mood. She also works with methods aimed at reducing trauma-related symptoms and uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce stress and increase flexible coping.

Clients often bring practical worries like job loss or money stress along with emotional pain from divorce, abandonment, or caregiving strain. Kathy helps people sort priorities, build coping tools, and improve communication. She also supports those facing burnout, compassion fatigue, or the impact of long-term health and aging concerns.

Her education includes a Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work. Kathy practices in Florida and offers services in English. To begin, clients follow the site's intake steps and schedule according to her availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions and helps people take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are strong.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and creating a nonjudgmental space where a person can speak freely. It helps people clarify their goals, build self-trust, and make decisions when they feel stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain problems. It often involves practical exercises and homework to change routines that contribute to depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can start in an initial session and evolve as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing simpler scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that feels more comfortable. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered for scheduling.
