About Kay

Kay Cagle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Oklahoma with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, depression, trauma, and related concerns such as self-esteem and ADHD. Her practice also addresses issues like abandonment, family of origin problems, fatherhood issues, and coping with life changes.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background informs a flexible approach to conversation and planning. Sessions focus on clear boundaries and measurable goals rather than vague talk. Kay draws on several evidence-based methods to help people move forward.

Her typical session emphasizes practical techniques and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy shapes sessions around the person’s priorities and pacing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques support values-driven action when avoidance or worry gets in the way.

Kay describes herself as someone who pays attention to how people connect and communicate. She aims to build rapport quickly and to help clients set achievable steps. That can mean shorter exercises, behavioral experiments, or focused conversations about family roles and parenting challenges.

People choosing her often want straightforward support for real-world problems at home. She asks for clear goals up front and uses measurable steps to track progress. Sessions are practical and conversational, with an emphasis on what can change between meetings.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Kay combines practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the collaborative focus of Client-Centered Therapy. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses small experiments to test new ways of acting. That approach can help with anxiety, depression, and problems that repeat in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy shapes sessions around what the person brings and how fast they want to go. It emphasizes listening and follow-through so that goals come from the client rather than an outside checklist. Together these methods aim to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will help determine what fits best based on your needs, goals, and preferences. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques as progress is tracked.
