About Kayla
Kayla Goldsby is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and build motivation and self-esteem. Kayla aims to make the start of therapy feel doable and welcoming for anyone who is nervous about reaching out.
Kayla uses straightforward, person-focused work to guide conversations toward clear goals. She listens first, then helps people map small steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
That often means combining practical skills with a look at the stories people tell about themselves. Her methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. These tools are used to address symptoms like panic, low mood, anger, and problems with substance use.
She also supports people coping with chronic pain, relationship concerns, career stress, and identity or sexuality questions. Sessions with Kayla are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Homework and skill practice are offered when helpful, and progress is reviewed regularly.
The goal is to build confidence in handling triggers and life changes, not to rush anyone through the process. Kayla conducts sessions in English and practices from Florida. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work, and she encourages clear communication about goals and preferences before moving forward.
How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your priorities. Online sessions let the therapist reflect your concerns and adjust the pace so work stays focused on what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. These techniques translate well to video or chat, where worksheets and brief exercises can be shared and practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kayla will help explore which methods fit your goals and comfort level, and she will adjust methods based on progress and feedback. That collaborative planning means you have a say in whether to focus on thought patterns, mindfulness skills, or motivational techniques for change.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and let people choose the pace and mode that work best for them.
