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 aims to connect quickly and help people move toward clearer goals.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That experience shaped her comfort with varied concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. She also supports people facing relationship strains, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Kay leans on practical, evidence-informed approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Client-Centered Therapy guides her to follow each person’s pace and priorities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and elements of existential and Jungian ideas inform her work when clients want to examine values, meaning, or deeper patterns. She helps people identify what matters and take small steps toward it.

Her style is direct but warm. She focuses on clear boundaries and measurable goals so progress can be tracked. Sessions are aimed at useful skills and shifts that fit a person’s daily life.

Kay values ongoing growth in her own practice. She expects to collaborate with people who want practical tools and steady support while they manage issues like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, shame, or isolation.

Approach-focused care available online

Kay blends several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and practice small actions that align with those values even when difficult feelings remain. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in each person’s priorities, with the therapist following the client’s pace and emphasizing empathy and respect.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work itself. The therapist collaborates with each person to see what fits best based on their goals, daily demands, and preferences. Together they will test methods and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to a single technique up front.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing support between appointments and work well for quick coping strategies or brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches that suit how someone prefers to communicate.
