About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She uses straightforward conversation and steady support to help people feel less alone as they sort through difficult emotions and life changes.
She blends practical therapy approaches to address recurring problems like low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and patterns that keep showing up in relationships. Kathy draws on methods that help people notice thoughts and behaviors, make clearer choices, and build small habits that add up to change.
Her background includes nine years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work. She also has experience with trauma-focused work and psychodynamic approaches that look at deeper personal patterns behind symptoms such as depression and anxiety.
In sessions she offers a calm, listening presence and works collaboratively to set goals that fit each person’s life. Conversations may include practical coping skills, mindfulness practices, and ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Kathy commonly helps people dealing with grief, addiction, caregiver stress, codependency, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing career strain, commitment worries, or the fallout from abusive or traumatic experiences. If someone wants a steady, thoughtful therapist who combines practical tools with attention to deeper issues, Kathy can be a match.
Approaches that guide online work and practical steps
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from old habits.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and offering empathy so people can find their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs steady support while sorting out feelings or life decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with sleep, mood, and relationship-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during life transitions while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work.
