Kayla Sterling

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Kayla commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes developing psychological flexibility by clarifying values, practicing mindful acceptance of difficult experiences, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can support coping with life transitions and chronic emotional challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. She works together with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques from different models to create a personalized plan rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That collaborative stance helps ensure interventions fit each person’s situation and values.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or geographic constraints while allowing therapists and clients to work together on practical skills, behavioral strategies, and emotion regulation techniques in ways that suit each client’s routine.
