Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe, LCSW

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what someone is actually going through. Kathy aims to make therapy feel like a real conversation where people can begin to feel less alone.

She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors with cognitive behavioral methods, practicing present-moment awareness with mindfulness, or exploring deeper patterns with psychodynamic ideas. Kathy also lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Gottman Method among her approaches, and she draws from those to help people set values-based goals and address relationship concerns.

Kathy trained at Columbia University School of Social Work and holds the LCSW credential. She has about nine years of professional experience in clinical practice. That experience includes working with people facing addictions, grief, self-esteem and identity questions, and complicated life transitions.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps along with understanding the roots of problems. That can look like learning skills to manage anxiety, talking through relationship patterns, or making a plan to cope with upsetting memories. She invites questions and aims to make next steps clear for each person.

Sessions are conducted in English and Kathy practices in Florida. If you want to begin, use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How specific approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. That approach often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple practices to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That makes therapy a collaborative process where approaches are adjusted over time as needs change.

Specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. It can also let people use approaches like CBT exercises or mindfulness practice in the settings where they live and work, making new skills easier to try in daily life. Licensed professionals, including therapists, will help decide which methods and scheduling choices best match a person’s situation.
