Kayla focuses on motivational and solution-focused methods that build on a person’s strengths. She helps people set practical goals and find small steps that lead to change.
Background and approach
Her sessions are straightforward when needed and empathetic at the same time. She also uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral strategies to address worry, low mood, and trauma-related reactions. These tools help clients notice patterns, manage difficult thoughts, and try new behaviors between sessions.
Kayla has three years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and social work. She supports people dealing with life changes, family problems, cancer-related stress, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Kayla often checks in between weekly meetings to provide encouragement and brief support for non-emergencies. For urgent crises she directs people to the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Outside of work she enjoys reading, creative projects, and taking her rescue dog on adventures.
She aims to help people build on their strengths and move toward practical, manageable change.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Kayla uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s goals and preferences at the center of the work. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and letting their priorities steer each session. It is useful for people who want a collaborative, respectful process.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and then test new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia because it offers clear, step-by-step strategies to change how someone feels and acts.
Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these methods to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These tools can reduce moment-to-moment reactivity and help with stress, trauma reactions, and focus concerns like ADHD.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. This may shift over time as progress is made.
Online formats provide flexible options to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter, more frequent support and written reflections. These options make it simpler to maintain consistent contact and keep therapy integrated into daily life.
