About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress and parenting concerns.

Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to untangle unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing burnout, caregiver stress, body-image struggles, and changes after separation or loss.
Kathy pays attention to how past experiences show up in current behavior. Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer thinking. That can look like setting small goals, practicing mindfulness exercises, or learning new communication skills.
For people dealing with trauma, she integrates approaches designed to reduce intense symptoms and create steadier responses.

Online approaches that fit family life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it focuses on actions rather than getting stuck on thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills for mood, sleep, eating, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and reflection to help people feel heard and understand their own choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that match your situation. Over time the plan can shift if another method seems more helpful; the aim is to find what works for you and your daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your schedule. Video calls let you work face-to-face when that helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support brief check-ins between appointments. These options give flexibility for busy days, work breaks, or when different pacing feels better.
