Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe , LCSW

Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe brings a calm, experienced presence to people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and other life challenges. She understands how pressures such as job uncertainty and financial strain can deepen feelings of isolation, and she focuses on helping clients find clearer footing amid those worries.

She is trained in Traumatic Incident Reduction, an evidence-based method for reducing symptoms related to trauma and post-traumatic stress. In addition, she has in-depth training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which is designed to explore underlying patterns and roots of depression, anxiety, and recurring relationship difficulties. Those clinical skills are combined with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy to address a wide range of concerns.

Kathryn holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she completed her Master of Social Work at Columbia University School of Social Work in 1996. She invites conversations about what someone is experiencing and offers collaborative support to reduce isolation and work toward practical, meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kathryn integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and develop committed actions that move them toward a meaningful life. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, and challenges related to motivation and life transitions by teaching practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts while focusing on what matters most.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, and problems with sleep, eating, or coping skills because it emphasizes concrete strategies and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Kathryn collaborates with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level while continuing to work with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
