Kathleen McNabb, LPC

Kathleen McNabb is a licensed professional counselor who brings compassion and practical support to individuals and families across Minnesota. She emphasizes a collaborative relationship where clients are invited to share their stories, successes, and challenges while they and the therapist develop a treatment plan tailored to the client’s goals. Kathleen meets people where they are and works alongside teens, college students, and adults coping with depression, anxiety, and adjustment-related concerns to identify meaningful steps forward.

Her background includes service as a Stephen Minister, which allows her to integrate faith-based components into counseling when clients request that option; she also identifies as a Christian and offers faith-informed care at the client’s preference. Kathleen practices with an LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and holds license number MN LPC 01825, authorizing her to provide mental health counseling in Minnesota. She is available for online therapy throughout the state and is committed to helping clients navigate life transitions, relationship struggles, stress, and a range of emotional challenges with respect and practicality.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Kathleen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and develop practical strategies for living in line with what matters to them. ACT supports people working with stress, anxiety, and life changes by teaching acceptance of difficult thoughts while focusing on meaningful action.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for symptoms of depression and anxiety and for building concrete coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Kathleen practices in a client-centered manner, creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s voice guides treatment choices. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - she collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Kathleen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different communication preferences. These options make it easier for people across Minnesota to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
