About Kamay Gaboda

Kamay Gaboda, LCMHC, LPC, is a North Carolina-based Licensed Clinical Mental Health Supervisor with nearly 20 years of experience supporting people through trauma, substance use concerns, and addiction. She recognizes that these challenges often show up alongside depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive behaviors, and relationship difficulties, and she works with clients to address the full picture rather than a single symptom in isolation.

Her background includes providing individual, couples, and group therapy in both residential and outpatient settings, including work within a Community Mental Health Center and a private addiction, mental health, and substance abuse treatment facility. Kamay Gaboda takes an eclectic approach, tailoring care to each client’s goals and needs. She draws most often from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, Motivational approaches, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Throughout the process, she places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for meaningful change. Her aim is to offer steady support and practical tools as clients move toward recovery and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building skills to act in line with personal values. It can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, or cravings keep pulling life off course.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence each other. It often supports clients who want clear strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that feel hard to break.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or are working on steadier relationships and healthier responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kamay Gaboda collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences, and what they want to change, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get support in a format that fits day-to-day life. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing routines, or times when meeting in person is not feasible.
