Star Hess-Cabarle, LMHC

Star Hess-Cabarle is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She writes plainly and keeps the work practical so busy people can fit therapy into their routine. Her approach looks at the whole person, including habits that affect mental health and overall wellness.

Star began counseling in 2016 and brings ten years of experience to her practice in Florida. She also holds a master's degree in exercise and nutrition sciences and is a NASM certified personal trainer, so she blends attention to physical habits with mental health work. This lets her consider sleep, movement, and eating alongside feelings and behavior.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she emphasizes collaboration. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps clients can use between meetings. She adapts methods depending on whether someone needs coping skills for anxiety, support through addiction recovery, or ways to process trauma.

Star uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral ideas and skills-oriented methods to address coping and behavior. She also draws from humanistic perspectives to center the person’s goals. Her background includes work on substance use disorders and trauma, and she supports people navigating gender identity and diverse life experiences.

International clients may be served and sessions are offered in English. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Star uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and many everyday problems. Seeking Safety is a skills-focused method aimed at coping with trauma and substance use by teaching practical strategies for staying grounded and managing cravings or flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time those choices can be adjusted based on what helps most in real life.

The biography notes remote video telehealth as an option, but confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier, remove travel time, and let therapy fit into work or family routines. Video meetings let people show body language and practice skills in real time, while other remote options can be helpful when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Star aims to tailor sessions so they match practical life demands and therapeutic goals.
