About Kay

Kay Cagle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Science in Psychological Services and holds licensure in both Texas (TX LPC 86699) and Oklahoma (OK LPC 7693).

Background and approach

Kay's background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings, and she brings that breadth of experience to her online practice. Her approach centers on building strong therapeutic rapport and helping clients set clear boundaries and measurable goals.

Kay integrates evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered therapy to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, parenting, and ADHD among other focus areas. She emphasizes collaboration and acceptance while guiding clients toward growth.

Kay aims to be a steady, intentional presence for people navigating life transitions, intimacy and self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, and a wide range of relational or personality-linked challenges. She maintains high professional standards and continually develops her skills so she can support clients through practical strategies and mindful self-examination.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Kay often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes mindful acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action; ACT can be especially useful for coping with life changes, trauma responses, and issues of avoidance.

Finding the right approach is collaborative, and Kay works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will explore options together, adapt techniques to the client's needs, and refine the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and progress regardless of location.
