Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe, LCSW

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and addiction concerns. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a direct, caring manner to conversations about what is going wrong and what might help. Kathy aims to make therapy feel useful and understandable from the first meeting.

Kathy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method to tailor sessions to each person. She talks with clients about patterns that keep problems repeating and about small, doable changes. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, managing intense feelings, and building daily routines that support better sleep, eating, and coping.

Kathy is comfortable addressing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and substance use. She also helps people navigate life changes such as divorce, job loss, and relocation.

In the first sessions she listens to what matters most, clarifies short-term goals, and suggests initial steps clients can try between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's needs.

How Kathy's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to support personal insight and growth.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kathy will listen to your goals and struggles and suggest which methods might fit best. Together you can try techniques and adjust the plan over time, focusing on what makes day-to-day life easier for you.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commute time, and let people use techniques in their real routines. Phone sessions can be simpler when video would be difficult, and shorter check-ins can help maintain momentum between fuller appointments. Licensed professionals can use these options to make consistent progress without requiring extra travel.
