Kaycee Israel , LCSW

Kaycee Israel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who specializes in adolescent and adult mental health, with focused experience in trauma, psychotic disorders, and life transitions. She also works extensively with military families and veterans and treats a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, addiction, self-harm, behavioral disorders, and other mood-related conditions. Her practice centers on understanding each person as an individual with distinct history and needs, and she draws on that understanding to shape meaningful treatment plans.

Rather than relying on a single theoretical framework, she emphasizes flexibility and clinical openness, adapting therapeutic tools and strategies as a person’s circumstances and goals evolve. This approach allows her to tailor care to changes in presentation over time and to select interventions that fit the client’s preferences and life context. Kaycee aims to create collaborative treatment that reflects real-world concerns and supports practical progress toward clients’ goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Kaycee often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people navigating stress, mood concerns, and major life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and centering the client's perspective to help clarify values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills work for clients who benefit from concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches provide options that address both understanding and practical coping skills depending on the issue at hand.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kaycee works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals can adapt methods over time as circumstances change so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy lives and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are not possible. These options expand accessibility and allow therapists and clients to focus on progress using modalities that suit the client’s routine and comfort.
