About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, people-focused methods to help during stressful times. She draws on nine years of experience to guide conversations about anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and phobias. Kathy keeps language direct and clear so worried parents can quickly see how therapy might help.
She combines cognitive behavioral tools with acceptance and mindfulness practices to address upsetting thoughts and avoidant habits.
Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward skills to manage anxiety, steps for handling intrusive thoughts, and exercises to slow down racing emotions. Her approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to tolerate and respond to in day-to-day life. Kathy also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to look at patterns that repeat in relationships or mood.
That perspective can help people understand where old habits began and how they play out now. She mixes insight work with practical steps so therapy feels both grounded and useful. Her background includes a master of social work from Columbia University School of Social Work and a Florida LCSW credential.
She has worked with concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting stress, body image, and caregiving burden. Kathy frames goals around what each person wants to change and what is realistic to try. Therapy with Kathy can be delivered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking steps that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, avoidance, and coping during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, often using short exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust strategies based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist review progress together and choose techniques that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing facial expressions. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or coaching into a busy day. These options offer flexibility to match therapy to everyday routines and practical constraints.
