Kay Cagle, LPC

Kay Cagle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Psychological Services and practices in Texas. Kay has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and focuses on helping people move forward from stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her approach starts with building a steady connection. She uses clear boundaries and measurable goals so people know what to expect from sessions. Kay emphasizes acceptance and practical steps, aiming to help people uncover strengths and reach their potential. She draws on several evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are used to address issues like depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and problems with self-esteem. Kay also supports people navigating parenting strains, family conflicts, and major life changes. Kay pays attention to patterns that underlie repeated struggles. She works with themes such as abandonment, commitment concerns, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also addresses challenges related to ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and co-occurring difficulties. In sessions she focuses on small, achievable steps. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviors, and practical coping skills. The goal is steady progress through realistic actions and honest reflection.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve coping. It is often used for stress, depression, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using listening and empathy to help people find their own solutions and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during the day. It can also let people use different therapeutic tools at home, such as mindfulness practices or behavior experiments, and still keep the focus on practical steps and measurable goals.
