About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is an LCSW who uses practical, talk-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship struggles. She writes in plain terms and aims to make emotional challenges easier to handle. Kathy draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, values, and present-moment awareness.
She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Client-centered listening is part of every session so people feel heard before moving to problem solving. With nine years of clinical experience, she works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She also addresses issues such as parenting stress, career transitions, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Anger is one of the specific areas she helps people understand and manage. Kathy uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that contribute to repeated relationship problems.
She also draws from the Gottman Method to address communication and intimacy-related concerns in one-on-one work. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work. Sessions are offered from Florida and are conducted in English.
People can expect collaborative planning, straightforward tools to practice between sessions, and an emphasis on building skills that fit daily life. She encourages a calm, practical pace so people can try new ways of coping and notice what changes.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can support work on anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. CBT often includes short exercises and homework that fit well into online sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase focus, which can help with stress, anger, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and tailor a mix of ACT, CBT, or mindfulness-based techniques as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which practices to try and how to adapt them for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face work when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, homework review, or steady check-ins between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats to see what works best.
