About Kathryn

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who integrates cognitive behavioral approaches with psychodynamic insight to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma-related symptoms.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical practice in Florida, she draws on a mix of methods - CBT, acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered care, mindfulness, and elements of the Gottman Method - to tailor support to each person's concerns.

Her background includes training in trauma-focused techniques and psychodynamic psychotherapy to explore both immediate coping skills and deeper patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulties. Kathy offers care for a wide range of issues including addiction, grief, self-esteem, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, caregiver stress, and mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that addresses practical symptoms while also attending to relationship dynamics and life transitions. Kathy practices in Florida and provides services in English, inviting people to take the first step toward clearer thinking and more effective coping when life feels overwhelming.

Online approaches that blend skills and insight

Kathryn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values and learning to accept difficult emotions while taking committed steps toward meaningful change. Both approaches are practical and often pair well with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and experiences, then adapts techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. This shared decision-making helps ensure sessions focus on what the client finds most relevant and useful.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home, and continue work on coping skills and relationship patterns without disrupting daily responsibilities.
