About Kayla
Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She supports people who are managing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and the strain that comes with major life changes. Her approach is warm, direct, and practical so conversations feel approachable on a hard day.
Kayla spent years working in social services, including child protective services, before becoming a licensed therapist. That background gave her a lot of exposure to trauma and family dynamics, and it shaped how she listens for safety and connection in a person’s life.
Background and approach
She brings nine years of clinical experience to each session. In sessions she blends client-centered work with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she focuses on what matters to the person in the room while offering concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when those fit someone’s goals. Kayla often helps people who are dealing with parenting stress, attachment questions, adoption or foster care issues, and the emotional fallout from fertility or pregnancy challenges. She also addresses panic attacks, social anxiety, ADHD-related impulsivity, and compassion fatigue for people in caring roles.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are delivered in English and follow Wisconsin practice standards. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and creates space for what matters most in their life. It’s useful when someone needs a supportive place to talk through parenting stress, grief, or ongoing anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with clear exercises and homework. CBT is often helpful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and managing mood shifts.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and concerns, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That shared decision-making helps find the best path forward for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person visit, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging give shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
