About Kamay
Kamay Gaboda is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of clinical experience. She practices from North Carolina and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and LGBT-related issues. Kamay uses clear, practical methods and listens first to understand each person's situation.
Her background includes work in both residential and outpatient settings, and experience with substance abuse treatment and trauma care.
Background and approach
She has provided individual, couples, and group therapy in community mental health and personal addiction treatment programs. That variety means she is comfortable shifting approach to match what a person needs. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered ideas.
These approaches are used to address mood symptoms, addictive behaviors, relationship strain, and patterns like avoidance or dependency. Kamay also has experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, first responder issues, and other specific concerns.
She works with people who struggle with personality-related patterns such as avoidant, dependent, or antisocial traits, and with those involved in BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Kamay helps people set realistic goals, try new coping skills, and check progress over time.
She invites people to begin by describing what they want to change and then shapes therapy around those goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by testing ideas and practicing new skills; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and expressing emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others, which can help with relationship strain and feelings of emptiness.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss options, and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time if one way of working does not feel helpful, and the plan is adjusted based on progress and feedback.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share updates or concerns between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and communication styles.
