About Star
Star Hess-Cabarle is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes. Star also focuses on concerns such as codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, and communication problems.
Star draws on both mental health training and a background in exercise and nutrition sciences. She combines talk-based work with attention to how lifestyle and movement affect mood and coping. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Her practice uses several evidence-based approaches including cognitive-behavioral work and skills-based methods. She also integrates strategies geared toward safety and managing symptoms linked to trauma and substance use. Those methods are used to address problems like anxiety, addictive behaviors, or recurring relationship patterns.
Star works from a nonjudgmental stance and has training in diversity and inclusion. She supports people with a range of personal identities and experiences, including those navigating gender dysphoria and LGBTQIA+ issues. International clients may be seen, and sessions are offered in English.
She recommends starting by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Star uses cognitive-behavioral approaches focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this work often includes short exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and break repetitive patterns. She also uses skills-based strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with strong reactions and relationship triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and how someone responds to different exercises. That collaborative process makes adjustments straightforward as therapy progresses.
The biography notes video telehealth as an offered option, so confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, avoid commute time, and have more consistent check-ins. They can also allow shorter or more focused meetings when needed, and remove travel barriers so therapy can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments.
