Kathleen McNabb, LPC

Kathleen McNabb is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses gentle, practical therapy to help people feel steadier during hard times. She focuses on making people comfortable and meeting them where they are. Kathleen listens to each person's story and works with them to set clear, achievable goals for therapy.

She brings four years of counseling experience to her work in Minnesota. Kathleen has helped teens, college students, and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and major life adjustments. Her background also includes time as a Stephen Minister, where she incorporated faith-based support when clients requested it.

Kathleen draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods. She uses practical tools to manage symptoms, build coping skills, and practice awareness. Sessions are focused on what the client wants to change and how to take small steps toward those goals.

Her style is compassionate and straightforward. She encourages clients to talk about successes and setbacks so plans can be adjusted. Kathleen offers Christian faith elements when clients ask for that perspective, but she shapes sessions around each person's beliefs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered to people located in Minnesota. Kathleen works by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, and she helps clients choose formats that fit their schedules and needs.

How Kathleen’s approach works online

Kathleen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice their feelings, clarify personal values, and take actions that match what matters most.

She views therapy as a collaborative process. Together the client and Kathleen decide which approach or combination of approaches fits the client's goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is most helpful for each person.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a simple check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support short updates, coaching-style guidance, or between-session contact that fits a busy schedule.
