About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a Florida LCSW with nine years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, trauma and other life challenges. Kathy explains concerns plainly and focuses on practical ways to manage reactions and move forward.
Kathy uses several well-known therapy methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify values and take small steps toward them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at unhelpful thinking and habits that keep problems going. Client-Centered work guides how she listens and responds in session.
Her background includes training in Traumatic Incident Reduction and psychodynamic psychotherapy. She says psychodynamic work can help uncover repeated patterns that show up in relationships and mood. Traumatic Incident Reduction is described as a method she has used to reduce trauma symptoms.
Sessions focus on clear, practical goals. Kathy talks through immediate coping skills such as managing anger in the moment, improving sleep, and changing patterns that fuel anxiety or substance use. She also works on longer term concerns like relationship communication and coping with life transitions.
Kathy received her graduate social work degree from Columbia University School of Social Work. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. To begin, the site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapy approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It is useful for managing anger, anxiety and making steady changes in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and short-term skill building. It often helps with sleep, mood, worry and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and working at the client's pace to clarify goals and next steps.Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist and client talk together about problems, goals and preferences. From there they pick or combine methods to address both immediate coping and longer-term patterns in a collaborative way.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in rather than a full in-person visit. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote work, using exercises, brief skills practice and discussion to help manage anger, relationships and stress while fitting sessions into everyday life.
