Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support during hard transitions. She offers calm, straightforward guidance for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and other major life changes.

She uses short, clear conversations to help people notice what matters and take small steps forward. Kathy blends approaches that encourage present-moment awareness, clarify values, and address patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions are intended to be a chance to talk through what is happening now and plan manageable changes.

With nine years of clinical practice, Kathy draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. She emphasizes acceptance and commitment ideas for living with difficult feelings, client-centered work to keep the person’s priorities central, and cognitive behavioral techniques to try concrete behavior changes. She also incorporates mindfulness and relational methods when helpful.

Kathy has experience supporting people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, sleep and eating struggles, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and parenting stress. She also helps people cope with bereavement, career shifts, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce.

She is licensed in Florida as an LCSW, and she provides care in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then taking action toward a chosen set of values; it can help when worry or uncertainty makes decision making hard. Client-Centered Therapy centers on being listened to and understood while the person identifies what matters most; this approach is useful for building trust and clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options when that works better for their schedule or technology. Discussing practical arrangements is part of the initial scheduling process so sessions fit daily life.
