About Kayla
Kayla Culleton is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Texas.

Kayla focuses on helping individuals find steady ways to cope with stress, overwhelming feelings, and life changes.
She uses straightforward methods to help people understand what drives their emotions. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with a focus on small, usable steps rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Kayla helps clients build clearer communication skills and stronger ways to manage anger, grief, or low self-esteem. Her approach blends conversational listening with problem-solving tools. Clients can expect a mix of talking through difficulties, learning new thinking patterns, and practicing different ways to respond in stressful moments.
She also supports people facing relationship strain or searching for life purpose by breaking issues into manageable goals. Kayla draws from client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep work grounded in each person’s priorities. She adds techniques from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused methods when those fit the situation.
Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen motivation for change, especially around drug and alcohol concerns. People who come to Kayla often want clear coping strategies and honest feedback in a calm, steady manner. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients move from feeling stuck to making practical changes in daily life.
How Kayla’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses on listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It gives practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and build different habits for anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name important emotions and then work on healthier ways to respond. EFT can be useful for managing strong feelings like grief, anger, or relationship distress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, skill practice, or stepping through a moment-by-moment issue. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
