Kamay Gaboda, LCMHC, LPC

Kamay Gaboda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, and depression. Kamay speaks English and draws on a range of therapy styles to meet each person's needs.

She often helps people facing co-occurring issues such as trauma, substance misuse, depression, panic, and obsessive behaviors. Her background includes work in residential and outpatient settings at a community mental health center and a independent addiction treatment facility. That variety shapes how she plans treatment.

Kamay uses an eclectic approach that adapts to the goals a person brings. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness ideas, motivational strategies, and EMDR for trauma work. In sessions she emphasizes a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

Her experience includes individual, couples, and group therapy in settings that treat substance use and mental health concerns. She also has experience supervising clinicians and working with people who have first responder issues, family conflict, and difficulties around commitment and intimacy.

Kamay aims to help people move toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns. She encourages straightforward goal-setting, practical skills practice, and honest conversation about what is getting in the way of relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online relationship and trauma work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship doubts where someone wants clearer priorities and consistent actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors by breaking problems into manageable steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, zeroes in on feelings and attachment patterns in relationships to help people improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so progress stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief appointment is helpful. It also lets people try different therapeutic approaches without rearranging their day, and therapists can assign practical exercises to practice between meetings.
