About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a Florida LCSW with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting strain, and related issues. Kathy speaks English and practices from Florida.
Kathy offers straightforward talk therapy that looks at what is happening now and what keeps problems repeating. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look for long-standing patterns that show up in relationships and mood. She also draws on trauma-focused methods to help reduce symptoms after upsetting events.
Sessions may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy elements and mindfulness practices are used to help people live in line with their values while managing difficult feelings. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for addressing relationship communication and repair.
Kathy trained at Columbia University School of Social Work and brings that social work perspective into her work. She invites people to talk about concrete worries like money, caregiving stress, or struggles with sleep and appetite. She also addresses issues such as grief, codependency, body image, and burnout.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She helps people name patterns, try small changes, and track whether those changes help. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Kathryn blends therapy approaches for remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. This can help when parenting stress, anxiety, or life changes make everyday choices feel hard. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear listening and respect for the client's perspective, giving room to name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses small experiments to test alternatives; it is often useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kathy will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. She uses a conversational style and practical exercises so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is difficult, and reduce time spent traveling. These practical benefits often help adults balance therapy with parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
