About Star
Star Hess-Cabarle is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Star combines mental health work with knowledge from a master's degree in exercise and nutrition sciences and a NASM personal trainer credential. She views mental and physical health as connected and brings that perspective into sessions. She also reports training in diversity and inclusion and uses a nonjudgmental approach in practice.
Her stated methods include Humanistic approaches, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change, and Seeking Safety. These techniques are used to address anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders, among other concerns. The therapist aims to match methods to the client’s goals and situation rather than use a single fixed approach.
Star lists a wide set of focus areas beyond her main specialties. These include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, communication and commitment problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, family of origin matters, and gender dysphoria. She also notes work related to addictions and substance use concerns.
Her practice emphasizes collaborative problem solving. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Using evidence-based approaches in remote sessions
CBT, or Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable steps and helps build practical skills for anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful habits.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on learning skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often used when intense emotions and relationship patterns cause repeated problems.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps set priorities and plan sessions that feel useful.
The biography notes availability of video telehealth for remote sessions, but clients should confirm current session formats before booking. Remote work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals adapt session length and focus so therapy can fit practical routines without promising a particular outcome.
