About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kathy) McCabe is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationships and the stress they can bring. She uses a combination of practical therapy methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. Kathy speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for everyday life.
Kathy works from a client-centered stance, listening first to what feels most urgent. She also uses approaches that focus on thoughts and behavior, and on values and acceptance, to build useful skills people can use between sessions. This mix lets her tailor work to each person’s situation rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work, earned in 1996, and nine years of clinical experience. Kathy has training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and in Traumatic Incident Reduction; she draws on those perspectives when trauma or longstanding patterns are part of the concern.
People come to her for help with relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, addiction, mood concerns, and stress linked to work or caregiving. She also supports those handling body image, codependency, communication problems, and commitment or intimacy issues.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps such as changing unhelpful behaviors, practicing new ways to communicate, and identifying personal values that guide decisions. She encourages practical strategies alongside time to talk about past hurts and how they affect current life.

How these therapy approaches work in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps that match those values. It helps when someone feels stuck by worry, depression, or conflict and wants concrete ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life events. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving people space to tell their story while the therapist reflects and supports their own insights.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to one way from the start.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break from work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can offer the same kinds of conversation, skill practice, and problem-solving through online appointments as they do in person, while tailoring pace and homework to fit everyday life.
