About Kayla

Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the effects of trauma.

Background and approach

With nine years of professional experience that include prior work in child protective services and social services, she draws on a background shaped by trauma-informed care and hands-on experience with diverse clinical concerns. Kayla emphasizes a warm, inviting, and understanding stance to create a collaborative space where clients can explore their goals and build practical skills.

Her work often addresses parenting and family interactions, supporting adults who want to improve relationships with children and other relatives. She incorporates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy, along with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

Kayla also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, fertility and pregnancy-related struggles, and a range of mood and anxiety conditions. She practices in English and serves clients in Wisconsin, offering a blend of practical problem solving and empathic support to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Practice

The practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard while exploring personal goals and values.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and feedback guide the work.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own environments.
