More about Kayla
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a social worker, I quickly became passionate about mental health and therapy. I am drawn to help others through both their best and most difficult times. I aim to alleviate stress among students and others, while promoting a healthy lifestyle. I am thankful for the opportunity to listen to others’ stories and guide them through change.
I have received my Doctorate in Human Services, Master of Social Work, and Bachelor of Arts in sociology. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025 and have provided therapy to children, teens, and adolescents since 2023 as a Supervisee in Social Work. I have also provided therapy to college-aged students since 2025. I focus on active listening, cognitive restructuring, and assigning homework between sessions to support continued growth.
I use a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach and have specialized training in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. I am also trained in Child Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI) to work with both children and their parents after a traumatic experience.
I believe in letting the client lead the topic of discussion at the beginning of the session to ensure they feel supported throughout the session. Throughout therapy, I will assist with helping you reach your overall goal and lessen any symptoms you may be experiencing.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
