About Tekla
Tekla McCabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with seven years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and questions about life purpose. Her focus includes major life transitions such as divorce, grief, and career changes.
She helps clients who struggle with panic, social anxiety, trauma responses, and mood challenges. Tekla also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and chronic illness or pain. She uses practical conversation to identify patterns that keep people stuck and looks for small, doable changes.
In sessions she talks through communication skills and ways to increase self-compassion and self-respect. She works plainly on problem-solving, boundary-setting, and coping strategies for stress and big life changes. Tekla emphasizes concrete tools rather than abstract explanations.
Her work includes attention to situational pressures like workplace strain, financial worries, pregnancy and postpartum, and recovery after separation. She aims to help people manage symptoms while making clearer decisions about what matters next.
People can expect collaborative, goal-focused conversations that connect daily life with longer-term aims. Tekla welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and speaks English. For people exploring life purpose after a change, she focuses on practical steps toward clearer direction.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Tekla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety and depression; it involves identifying specific thoughts and trying different responses in everyday situations. Another approach centers on improving attachment and communication skills by practicing clearer expression of needs and limits, which can help with relationship strain and codependency. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tekla will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adjusts methods over time based on what works and what doesn’t. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone join without being on camera. Licensed professionals can use online conversations to teach skills, review homework, and support decisions about next steps in life or recovery.Areas of expertise
