About Kayla
Kayla Mulholland is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed. Kayla meets clients where they are and focuses on small, practical steps that fit everyday life.
She uses mindfulness and skills-based strategies to help reduce reactivity and strengthen coping. Sessions often include goal-setting, gentle reflection, and short exercises to practice between meetings.
Background and approach
Kayla emphasizes building on existing strengths so change feels achievable. Kayla has five years of clinical experience in California. Her work has involved community settings and supporting people through life transitions and trauma.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. In sessions she centers collaboration and clear communication. Conversations are paced to suit each person, and she helps clients try concrete tools for stress, relationships, and self-care.
Kayla encourages small experiments in everyday life to test what helps. People who choose her often want practical strategies, steady support during change, and someone who listens without judgement. She focuses on teaching skills that can be reused long after sessions end.
Kayla welcomes questions and works with clients to clarify goals and next steps.
Approach and online options that fit your life
Kayla commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to shift reactions and mood.She approaches treatment collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to choose which methods to try, based on current concerns, goals, and personal preferences. That process can include short skill trials and regular check-ins to adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when writing through thoughts helps. These options help people fit therapy into busy days, care for immediate moments, and continue progress between meetings.
