About Kayla

Kayla Daniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who brings a decade of experience in social services and five years specifically in therapeutic practice.

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and a range of mood and life-change challenges including bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses issues related to aging, chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended families, and multicultural concerns.

Her style is warm, strengths-based, and client-centered, emphasizing collaboration rather than directive coaching. She combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with compassionate listening, helping clients shape individualized goals and real-world strategies.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses alongside mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and client-centered methods to target patterns of thinking, coping skills, and behavior change. Kayla values fairness and equity and aims to walk alongside clients as they navigate difficult transitions and build resilience.

She offers sessions for a broad set of life and mental health concerns and supports clients in developing plans that fit their goals and daily realities.

Making therapeutic approaches work online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It often involves setting concrete goals, practicing new skills, and using structured exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration; the therapist creates a supportive environment where clients explore their values and choices and feel heard as they work toward personal goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance techniques that can help with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and coping with chronic difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so treatment remains relevant and practical for daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage in structured CBT exercises, reflective client-centered conversations, or brief motivational check-ins from locations that suit their schedules. The varied formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care while fitting therapy into busy routines.
