Kamay Gaboda

Kamay Gaboda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience. She works from North Carolina and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She uses practical, straightforward methods to help people feel more in control of their day-to-day lives.

Gaboda draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to guide sessions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they match a person’s needs. Sessions emphasize building a trusting working relationship and practical skills for handling difficult moments.

Her background includes individual, couples, and group work in both residential and outpatient settings. She has substantial experience in community mental health and in addiction-focused programs. That experience informs how she supports people facing co-occurring issues like substance use, mood shifts, panic, dissociation, and family or relationship strain.

In a typical session she listens, helps name the problem, and offers tools people can try between visits. She commonly addresses issues such as abandonment, commitment concerns, dependency patterns, and challenges tied to alternative sexual cultures and kink. First responder issues and domestic violence are also within her stated focus areas.

Kamay works with English-speaking clients in North Carolina. Her counseling uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session specifics are arranged after a short matching process.

How trauma-informed and skills-based approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and reduce the hold of traumatic memories and reactions. It aims to make everyday triggers less overwhelming and to restore a sense of calm and control. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and building willingness to take action even when strong emotions are present. It helps people commit to small steps that match what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Plans may change as work progresses, and choices are made together rather than imposed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use tools learned in therapy in the moments they arise, with the therapist helping translate strategies into day-to-day routines.
