About Kamay

Kamay Gaboda is a licensed clinician based in North Carolina who brings 20 years of experience to therapy. She holds LCMHC and LPC credentials and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and depression. Her background includes work in community mental health, residential programs, and outpatient addiction treatment.

That work involved individual and group formats as well as some couples sessions, giving her experience with a range of everyday problems tied to trauma and substance use.

Background and approach

Kamay uses a flexible, client-centered approach. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when they match a person's goals.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is among the methods she uses for processing traumatic memories and distressing experiences. Sessions focus on skill building, managing strong emotions, and working at a pace the person can tolerate. People often come for help with addiction, depression, panic, dissociation, relationship strain, family problems, and struggles tied to abandonment or commitment.

Kamay aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients can move toward the changes they want. She provides care in English and offers several online session formats to fit different needs. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Online support

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Kamay commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters, even when feelings are hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kamay will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging can fit short updates, troubleshooting, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options let people fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
