About Mikala

Mikala Moffitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She draws on four years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and concerns about self-esteem. She aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and individuals alike.

She keeps sessions direct and respectful. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what changes matter most to the client.

Background and approach

She works to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken without judgment. That approach helps clients name problems and decide on practical next steps. Mikala uses a mix of talk-based methods and structured tools.

She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She combines that with client-centered listening to center each person’s priorities. She also draws on motivational interviewing to build forward momentum and solution-focused strategies to set realistic, short-term goals.

These methods are often useful for parenting stress, relationship friction, sleep and eating concerns, and coping after trauma or loss. Mikala believes change happens one step at a time. In sessions she supports problem-solving, skill-building, and steady progress toward clearer goals.

The work emphasizes what clients want to change and how to get there in everyday life.

How Mikala’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy begins by placing the client’s priorities at the center of each session, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the direction of practical work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches simple strategies to change patterns that cause distress, especially for anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit those goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide when to use listening, structured CBT tools, motivational interviewing prompts, or solution-focused steps so the work matches what a client needs in daily life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let clients fit sessions around school, work, and parenting duties and keep continuity when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can use these formats to review progress, teach coping skills, set short-term goals, and adjust plans between meetings to keep momentum 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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
