About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She uses straightforward conversations to help people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Kathy keeps sessions focused on what matters now and what can change next so people feel steadier and more able to cope.
She draws on nine years of clinical experience and a foundation in psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. That background helps when depression, trauma, or long-standing relationship problems keep coming back. She also blends approaches like cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to build skills for coping and better sleep.
Kathy aims to make therapy accessible and relevant. She listens for what feels most urgent, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. That approach applies whether the concern is grief, parenting strain, substance use, or issues around identity and intimacy.
Her training includes a Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work and licensure as an LCSW in Florida. Over years in practice she has supported people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions, helping them find practical ways to reduce distress.
The first step is a simple conversation to map concerns and priorities. From there Kathy offers a mix of talking, skill-building, and mindfulness exercises aimed at improving day-to-day rest, routines, and emotional balance.
How her approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with stress, anxiety, and behavior changes that affect sleep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and routines and replacing them with practical strategies, which can be helpful for insomnia, worry, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support calmer nights and days.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, habits, and preferences. Together they will pick methods and exercises that fit daily life and respond to what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone or video sessions help keep momentum between appointments and allow practice of skills in real-life settings. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routines and needs.
