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 facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and issues such as guilt and shame. Kay also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, self-esteem struggles, and life changes.
She trained with a Master of Science in Psychological Services and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That experience shapes how she adapts to different needs and situations. Kay emphasizes clear boundaries and measurable goals in her work.
Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions center on what the person brings each week, with attention to values, behavior patterns, and immediate coping skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, existential themes, and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of their experience.
Kay prefers simple, goal-oriented steps alongside reflective conversation. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking, notice patterns that keep them stuck, and practice new ways of responding. People who value both practical strategies and deeper personal meaning tend to fit well with her approach.
Her background includes work with relationship strain, family-of-origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, impulsivity and co-morbid conditions, and the effects of domestic violence or separation. Kay encourages open discussion about guilt and shame and the role those feelings play in daily life.
How she uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It is useful for people who feel stuck by painful thoughts or shame and want to act differently despite difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It provides concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and building new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and guilt-driven patterns.
Client-Centered therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client’s priorities. This approach supports people who need space to reflect and make decisions at their own pace.
Kay treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the work evolves from session to session rather than being fixed from the start.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a quieter setting that reduces external interruptions. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to keep therapeutic work practical and consistent with everyday life.
