About Kamay
LCMHC, LPC in North Carolina with 20 years of experience, Kamay Gaboda focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationships, and depression. She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods to address people’s immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
Kamay draws on two decades of clinical work in residential and outpatient settings. That work includes individual therapy, couples work, and group programs in community mental health and private addiction treatment. She has substantial experience addressing trauma, substance use, and co-occurring concerns like depression and panic.
Her sessions typically focus on practical steps people can take between meetings. That may mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, learning emotion regulation skills, or clarifying values and goals. She also uses therapies that address relationship patterns and attachment-based concerns when those are relevant.
Kamay frequently supports people coping with abandonment, commitment issues, dissociation, and problems related to alternative sex cultures including BDSM and kink. She also works with challenges such as domestic violence, divorce and separation, emptiness, and first responder stress.
She lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) among her primary methods. Her approach adapts to what each person brings and the goals they set together.

How ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Can Translate to Remote Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that block meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and often includes exercises to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, depression, and addiction. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective and uses reflective listening to build understanding; it can help when someone needs a steady space to sort through relationship or emotional concerns.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That makes the plan collaborative and responsive rather than fixed from the start.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s day. They can also let people use modalities like ACT or CBT worksheets and practice skills between meetings. Discussing how sessions will be arranged and which methods to emphasize happens during the initial scheduling and intake steps.
