About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, and related concerns such as codependency and grief.
Kathy uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening and what they want to change. She draws on methods that help with difficult thoughts and emotions and with recurring patterns in relationships. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past events shape present reactions.
She trained at Columbia University School of Social Work and brings psychodynamic ideas into the work to look at roots of recurring problems. That perspective is paired with approaches that target thinking and behavior, and with tools to increase present-moment awareness.
People often come to her worried about repeating relationship patterns, trouble setting boundaries, or living around someone else's drinking or moods. She talks through those patterns and helps people try new ways of responding that fit their goals.
Kathy also works with issues like parenting stress, caregiver strain, body image, and coping with major life changes. Her style balances exploring deeper causes with concrete strategies for day-to-day coping and decision making.
To begin, she asks about current concerns and what a person wants from therapy, then together they set goals and practical steps to work toward during sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their priorities. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and sticking to meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding without judgment so a person can explore feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns and trying concrete changes to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches to try. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change as the work unfolds.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose interactions that work with daily routines. Licensed professionals can use these methods to focus on behavior changes, boundary-setting, and managing strong emotions while adapting session length and pacing to what fits a person's week.
