About Kayla
She takes a person-centered approach that centers the client's priorities. Sessions blend evidence-based tools with whole-person strategies that address mind, body, and emotions. That mix allows for both short-term coping and longer-term growth.
Kayla's background includes work in psychiatric emergency settings, inpatient units, outpatient programs, and private practice. She has led group work on anger management, stress reduction, parenting, and life skills. Those roles inform how she structures individual sessions and goals.
Her clinical approaches include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. In practice, that can mean learning new thinking habits, building emotion regulation skills, using mindfulness to reduce reactivity, and clarifying motivation for change.
People often seek Kayla's support for relationship struggles, grief, coping with life changes, addictions, ADHD concerns, and compassion fatigue. She works collaboratively to build a plan based on each person's values and daily life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps shape goals that matter to the person. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to sort priorities or rebuild confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behavior patterns. It often includes practical exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change patterns that cause stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can help people who struggle with intense feelings or conflict by giving step-by-step tools to respond differently.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means checking in and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care for people who move or have changing routines. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions while tailoring plans to each person's needs.
