Kathleen McNabb

Kathleen McNabb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-based approaches. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about hard things and figure out what they want from counseling. Kathleen emphasizes plain talk and steady support during difficult seasons.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Kathleen also helps with relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues around intimacy or addiction. Her practice includes support for career stress, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Kathleen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs most, whether that is learning skills, making values-based choices, or managing strong emotions. She uses concrete steps and simple exercises during sessions.

Her background includes work with teens, college students, and adults who’ve faced adjustment challenges. She has also served as a Stephen Minister, which informs how she brings faith into conversations when clients request it. Kathleen is a Christian and offers faith-related support on request.

She practices in Minnesota and has four years of clinical experience. People who choose her can expect conversational, steady guidance and practical strategies to try between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult memories and reduce the impact of past events on daily life. In practice this can mean paced discussions, grounding exercises, and skill-building to manage strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and sensations.

Kathleen aims to find the best approach together. She will listen to each person's goals and preferences, then recommend methods and exercises that fit those needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Some people prefer not being on camera for brief updates, while others use video for full sessions; confirming available options ahead of time helps set expectations. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and skills practice to suit life at home, work breaks, or school schedules.
