About Kayla
Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, and trauma. She is based in Wisconsin and draws on nine years of experience supporting adults through tough life moments. Kayla aims to create a kind, straightforward space where parents and individuals can talk through pressing concerns and find practical steps forward.
She uses clear, goal-oriented methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools and solution-focused conversations are added when they fit the client's needs. Motivational interviewing helps people find internal reasons to try new strategies. Kayla’s background includes years in social services before moving into licensed clinical work.
That experience shaped her attention to safety, attachment, and practical problem solving for families and caregivers. She also brings focused work with adoption and foster care, attachment challenges, fertility and pregnancy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she keeps language plain and plans concrete next steps.
Expect collaborative goal-setting, homework that feels doable, and a steady check on what’s working. Kayla helps people manage panic attacks, ADHD-related impulsivity, social anxiety, and mood shifts by combining talk strategies with short skills practice. If you want steady, structured support from a Wisconsin LCSW, Kayla can help you sort priorities and build coping skills that fit your life.
How Kayla’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people set goals that matter to them and work at their own pace. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to talk through parenting decisions, grief, or day-to-day stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle panic symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to calm the body and notice thoughts without getting swept away.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kayla will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods that fit the situation and adjust plans based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions offer several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging is convenient for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare, or other commitments while keeping the work focused and goal-oriented.
