About Kayla

Kayla Stoltmann is a Wisconsin Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and meets parents where they are. Kayla aims to make therapy practical and usable for daily life.

Her style is warm, inviting, and understanding, which helps families feel heard and steady during stressful times. Kayla brings nine years of experience that began in child protective services. That work shaped her attention to safety, clear communication, and realistic next steps.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She also works with issues like adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, fertility struggles, and pregnancy and childbirth topics. In sessions she leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy while drawing on mindfulness and solution-focused tools.

That means she helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that fit their family routines. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with room to process feelings. Parents can expect a focus on improving interactions with children and other family members.

Kayla often prioritizes skills that reduce daily stress and strengthen relationships. She also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue for caregivers. Her background in trauma-informed care informs how she approaches sensitive topics.

Kayla aims to create clear plans and steady support so families can make manageable progress over time.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the parent's lead, reflects concerns, and helps families find solutions that fit their daily life. This approach is useful when people need a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk about parenting and family stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It involves noticing unhelpful patterns and practicing small changes, like adjusting responses to a child's behavior or managing anxious thoughts. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation challenges.

Kayla will collaborate with each parent to find the best approach. Deciding which methods to use happens together, based on the family's needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new concerns come up.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let parents connect from home around busy schedules, follow up between sessions, and try strategies in real time. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and practical needs while keeping the focus on usable tools for family life.

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.
