Star Hess-Cabarle

Star Hess-Cabarle is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coping with life changes. Star also works with related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and communication problems.

Star uses straightforward therapeutic methods that connect thoughts and behavior to daily life. She draws on Cognitive-Behavioral techniques and Dialectical Behavior approaches to teach practical skills for managing overwhelming feelings and reducing harmful habits. She also uses humanistic principles to center the client's experience in sessions.

Her background includes a master’s degree in exercise and nutrition sciences and certification as a personal trainer. That background informs how she considers physical health alongside mental health when clients want that focus. She also has training in diversity and inclusion and practices in a nonjudgmental manner for people from varied backgrounds.

In sessions, Star aims to work collaboratively on clear, achievable goals. Conversations often include skill-building, behavior changes, and attention to patterns that show up in relationships and daily routines. For people wrestling with addiction or trauma, she incorporates strategies aimed at safety and relapse prevention.

She offers services from Florida and supports English-speaking and international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Star commonly draws on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Star collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life, adjusting techniques as progress is made or priorities change.

The biography does not list which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these benefits to help clients maintain consistency with sessions while they try different strategies.
