About Kayla
Kayla Daniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a decade of experience in social work and five years practicing as a therapist. She focuses on family and parenting concerns among a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and relationship and intimacy-related difficulties. Kayla works in Wisconsin and offers care in English.
Her approach is warm and strengths-based. She aims to walk alongside clients rather than direct them.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical steps toward clear goals, with attention to each person’s pace and preferences. Kayla blends several therapeutic methods to match what each family or parent needs. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and build trust.
Cognitive behavioral tools help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies often appear in sessions to help people manage stress and build small, achievable changes. Motivational interviewing supports clients who want to find their own reasons to change and stick with new habits.
Her background includes work with a wide age range, from children to older adults, and experience addressing caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic illness, and military veteran concerns. Kayla emphasizes fairness, equity, and compassion in every session. To begin, she encourages a simple first step: share your priorities and collaborate on a plan that fits your family’s needs and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and supports personal strengths to help parents and family members make meaningful changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress that affect family life.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing methods that can reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful parenting moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kayla will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helping and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home. Phone sessions are useful when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a parent’s schedule and keep progress moving forward.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
