About Kay

Kay Cagle is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters of Science in Psychological Services and six years of experience. She is licensed in Texas as LPC 86699 and in Oklahoma as LPC 7693. Kay draws on clinical work in both inpatient and outpatient settings to guide her approach.

She presents herself as a steady, engaged clinician who wants to help people move forward. Her style is straightforward and warm.

Background and approach

She focuses on setting clear boundaries and practical goals. Sessions are collaborative and aim to help clients name what matters and take small steps toward it. She emphasizes acceptance and growth rather than quick fixes.

Kay uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, and she also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements from existential and Jungian perspectives when helpful. That mix lets her tailor work to each person’s needs and values. She explains strategies in plain language and practices skills together with clients.

She has worked with people across different life stages and in family contexts. Kay pays attention to family dynamics and parenting concerns while keeping the work grounded in real-life routines. Her aim is to be a reliable support for those facing stress, relationship strain, mood concerns, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kay encourages clients to identify small, measurable steps and to revisit progress often.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. It is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay treats methods as tools to try together rather than fixed rules. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, and adapt strategies so they fit what actually works for the client.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities. For people who prefer short check-ins or longer conversations, the different formats allow progress to continue between meetings while keeping therapy practical and accessible.

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.
