About Kathleen
Kathleen McNabb uses a practical, person-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Minnesota who focuses on listening first and working with each person to set achievable goals. Kathleen aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can share what matters most to them.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new actions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention back to the present moment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and motivational interviewing tools can help when emotions run high or when someone wants to change patterns like substance use. With four years of counseling experience, Kathleen has supported people facing depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, grief, and challenges around relationships, parenting, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
She also works with concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and addictions. Her background includes faith-based care when requested, and she integrates spiritual values only at the client’s direction. Sessions use clear, simple language and focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Kathleen partners with people to build a plan that fits their daily life and priorities. She provides online options for those located in Minnesota and tailors the pace and tools to each person’s needs.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers step-by-step strategies to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention exercises to steady the mind and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.Kathleen treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what fits the person’s needs and preferences. This gives room to combine approaches or emphasize skills that work best for someone’s day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Chat and messaging options work well for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it possible to keep regular momentum while fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
