About Kathleen

Kathleen McNabb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting challenges, and life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and centered on what each person wants to accomplish. Kathleen aims to create a calm, welcoming space so people feel comfortable sharing their story and concerns.

She works collaboratively with clients to set goals and build plans that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings, like coping tools for anxiety and techniques for improving communication and self-esteem. Kathleen also addresses grief, addiction concerns, mood issues including bipolar, and career-related stress. Kathleen brings four years of counseling experience and uses several evidence-based approaches.

She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and make meaningful choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that maintain distress. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of her toolbox for emotion regulation and stress management.

She can include faith-based elements when a client requests them, integrating spiritual values alongside clinical work. Kathleen offers online therapy across Minnesota, using formats that fit clients' schedules and preferences. Her goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for family-focused work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful when parenting or managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression, and relationship tensions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and daily rhythms, then try methods that fit those needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is proving helpful in real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and people across Minnesota. Video calls allow face-to-face work from home, phone sessions can fit into a tight day, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter, on-the-go check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical while working on parenting, stress, or relationship goals.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
