Tekla McCabe

Tekla McCabe, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She draws on seven years of practice to help clients find steadiness during transitions like divorce, grief, career changes, and shifts in identity. The opening sentences are simple and direct so a worried reader can quickly grasp what she focuses on.

Tekla uses practical conversation to build self-respect and clearer communication. Sessions aim to uncover patterns such as codependency or attachment difficulties and to teach skills for day-to-day coping. She also supports those facing blended family challenges, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and the emotional aftermath of disaster or separation.

Her work emphasizes small, manageable steps that lead to real change. Clients can expect help sorting confusing feelings, setting boundaries, and making decisions that match their values. She also addresses body image concerns and trauma-related symptoms like dissociation and panic in accessible ways.

Tekla welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and belief systems. Her approach is nonjudgmental and practical, focusing on what will make life feel more livable. She aims to walk alongside clients as they practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Background and approach: Tekla holds a Master’s-level clinical social work credential and is licensed as an LCSW in Utah and Florida. Over seven years she has worked with many kinds of life stressors and mood concerns. She centers collaborative work - matching tools to each person’s needs and pace, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

How evidence-based techniques shape online work

Tekla draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on managing mood and improving relationships. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice alternative ways of thinking that reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes skills training for communication and boundary-setting to ease relationship stress and codependency patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tekla will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the particular problems they bring. This is an ongoing conversation and the plan can change as needs shift.

If you are considering online therapy with a licensed professional, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into a busy life - they can make it easier to schedule around work, manage shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and goals so sessions are useful and realistic.
