Kayla started with studies in nutrition and moved into psychology and social work to focus on eating disorders and broader mental health needs. She completed a Master of Social Work and expanded her practice in Hawaii, gaining experience with addictions, cancer survivors, and a range of mental health presentations. She holds an LCSW in Hawaii and an LICSW in Massachusetts.
In practice she uses straightforward talk and active listening. Sessions emphasize clients' strengths and practical steps. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing to support decision making and behavior change. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are used to increase present-moment awareness and values-based action.
Kayla has worked in community settings including services with people facing homelessness, teens, and those dealing with severe eating-related concerns. That background informs a flexible, adaptable way of working that focuses on what a person can do next rather than on long explanations.
Clients can expect a conversational style that checks for what matters to them and then uses specific exercises and reflections. The therapist encourages short-term goals alongside longer-term work when appropriate. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching and scheduling pathway described on the site.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions cover
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions about recovery and life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing cravings or mood shifts.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused method that helps people resolve ambivalence about change. It is often paired with CBT when someone is working on addictions or making lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean using brief motivational techniques at first, then adding CBT skills or ACT and mindfulness practices as appropriate.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel demands, or options that don't require being on camera. Licensed professionals aim to adapt sessions so they fit into a client's routine while working on concrete skills and decisions.
