About Kayla
Kayla Sterling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She practices from Wyoming and uses a warm, inviting style. She focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma and a wide range of life challenges.
She offers straightforward, client-centered care. Sessions aim to help people talk through painful memories, manage overwhelming feelings, and build practical coping skills. Her approach adapts to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Kayla draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and reshape thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based techniques support emotion regulation and relationship patterns. Her background includes many years in community mental health where she worked with people facing complex and overlapping issues. That experience shapes how she combines strategies for trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, addictions, and other concerns.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. People can expect an empathetic presence and interventions tailored to their situation. The therapist works collaboratively to set priorities and track progress.
Kayla is also a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) and holds state licensure as an LCSW in multiple states as noted on professional records. She practices in English and offers online formats for flexible care.
Approaches that guide online care and practical support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on what matters most to them. It teaches simple skills to act in line with personal values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships affect current connection and trust, helping people shift patterns that hinder closeness and emotional safety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on goals, preferences, and what shows early signs of progress. Plans are adjusted if something isn’t helping and strengths are built into every step.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, family, or other demands.
