Congratulations You have taken the first step to recovery!
Taking that step to ask for support to help when you are dealing with difficulties is a brave one.
I am an North Carolina-based, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Supervisor, Certified Clinical Supervisor for Substance Abuse with nearly 20 years’ experience working with trauma, substance abuse, and addiction. Often, co-occurring issues include: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bi-polar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive behaviors, and, of course, relationship challenges.
My experience includes individual, couples and group therapy in residential and outpatient settings of a Community Mental Health Center and a private addiction mental health and substance abuse treatment facility. I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, as it depends on the client's needs and goal for treatment .The modalities that have proven and I have the most experience in are : Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy , Mindfulness-based Therapy, Motivational , and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I believe in a strong therapeutic relationship to support the client to facilitate the change they are looking for.
I hope I can help you with this journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is great!
Patient, kind, and understanding. Kamay is extremely helpful.
I have a very difficult time connecting and communicating with most people, and I'd never done therapy before. I'm very glad to have met Kamay. She was knowledgeable, kind, and patient when I didn't know what to say or how to say it.
I couldn't ask for a better therapist. Scheduling is flexible and she is empathetic, caring and competent.
The results I have experienced since starting therapy have been more than I expected. Kamay is a gifted therapist and I have benefited immensely since meeting her. I look forward to keeping this up for quite some time.
Love working with Kamay! Her method of therapy with me has been different from what I’ve experienced in the past and I really enjoy it. She is super validating and compassionate and checks in frequently. Definitely would recommend her for therapy!
Kamay Gaboda has been the most helpful therapist I've ever had. Her care shows through in that she remembers what we've discussed and offers different viewpoints when I can tend to be more rigid. I value this therapist and I've already noticed a large difference in how I conduct myself, absolutely for the better. 20/10
Kamay is wonderful! I’m always impressed by the questions she asks to help me reflect and grow. This is my first time working with a therapist, and I feel extremely grateful to work with Kamay.
Kamay, thank you for being you and making me laugh and smile through this process.
She is great
Kamay is the best therapist I have ever had. She is very attentive and shows me that she cares about my wellbeing. She checks in on my even when we don't have a session planned and when I'm in crisis, she will free time up to see me. She's been a constant light in my life for the past 2 years and I know I wouldn't be where I am today without her. Losing my mom was hard on my mental state and life, and the pandemic made the situation worse when I couldn't see my family. The first 2 therapists I had ghosted me after just a few messages and I was about to give up on online therapy. But something told me to try again with BetterHelp and I was matched with Kamay first. Obviously, it's working for me! She's helped me with the loss and dealing with the emotions associated with it. Also with navigating my new found independence and living on my own. Even when I reconnected with my exe, I don't think I would have been able to navigate (or even acknowledge) the feelings I had for him and dispel the negative thoughts that would have crippled me in the past. Now he and I are working towards a future together and I know that wouldn't have been possible without her. She's amazing and I only hope to have her with me for a long time.
Kamay is very kind and understanding of my issues. The combination of chat plus voice is revolutionary for me in helping to bring up embarrassing problems.
❤️
Kamay has been very helpful throughout my marital issues and discovering my sexuality and personal identity. She is excellent about reaching out and making extra time for me if I’m not okay which means a lot to me. Kamay makes me feel like a person, and not a number, which personally I worried about going through an app for counseling.
Kamay has been super helpful to me on my journey to good mental health. Thank you! Highly recommend.
I’ve been to a lot of therapists growing up. From my personal experience, my previous therapists only listened to what I said—they never fully gave me advice or coping mechanisms. I was very happy to see that Kamay listened to me the first couple sessions and then offered coping mechanisms and ways to adjust my current situation. She’s very considerate and offers different points of views. She’s been great!
She’s awesome and super sweet
I went through a few different counselors before I was matched with Kamay. This is my first time in therapy and I have never felt more seen. She really listens to me and gives me useful feedback. I experienced a grave loss and my life felt like it was never going to move forward. Today I finally feel myself again and it’s thanks to her.
Kamay is very attentive and provides the support I need. She always listening and providing advice that helps me feel better. It great to have her as a support system.
She is great! Very timely and thoughtful. She cares about what is going on, and checks in regularly
She is the bestest! Better than all the rest! More Perfecter!
I find it hard to open up to anyone and kamay has made it easy for me to do so and even after a few sessions talking with her it has helped me in my communication in my personal life. She makes me feel comfortable which allows me to talk through certain difficulties and allows me to bounce my thoughts off her and gives me advise based on what I say which helps me see things from a different perspective. Simply put she has helped me. And a plus if you’re a animal lover she has a flock of chickens that help her and she as a wonderful sense of humor to lighten the mood!!!
I love her so much a great person to talk to
Kamay is a generous and thoughtful person, with a ton of experience, who gives a lot of herself to support others. I would recommend her a thousand times over. With that being said, it seems like she is being overburdened by betterhelp and suggest they ease off to maintain a valuable asset.
Kamay is a very thoughtful counselor who expertly guides each conversation, knowing when to listen, and when to ask more questions. She creates a comfortable, inviting environment where I can feel truly supported and talk without losing focus on what brought me there. I love that she checks in with me weekly, in between sessions, which gives me a sense of security knowing I can reach out to her outside our scheduled times. Her sincere approach to her work really shines through.
