About Kathleen

Kathleen McNabb is an LPC who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based strategies to create clear, manageable steps for change while also attending to values and meaning. Kathleen approaches each person as an individual, inviting them to share their story and then collaborating on goals and a treatment plan that fits their needs and pace.

With four years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT-informed skills, and client-centered listening to address concerns such as relationship strain, self-esteem, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, career stress, and burnout or compassion fatigue. Kathleen can incorporate faith-based perspectives when requested by the client.

She provides online services to people located in Minnesota and frames therapy as a partnership aimed at practical progress and personal insight.

Working with evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements that work by helping people clarify their values and practice acceptance skills so they can take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive foundation through empathic listening and collaboration, which can make it easier to explore sensitive topics like grief, intimacy concerns, or addiction.

Kathleen approaches treatment as a collaborative process, taking time to understand each person’s goals and preferences and then recommending approaches that fit those needs. She will work with clients to trial methods, adjust strategies when needed, and make decisions about which techniques are most helpful based on progress and comfort level.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints within Minnesota. These formats allow for consistent, ongoing work on skills and goals while making it easier to attend sessions from home or other convenient locations.
