About Kayla

Kayla Davis is a licensed social worker with 14 years of experience in clinical practice. She trained in social work at a master's level and holds both LCSW and LICSW credentials. Kayla brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and aims to make therapy easy to understand for busy people and worried parents.

Her career began with studies in nutrition and psychology, which led to early work in eating disorders and broader mental health settings.

Background and approach

Graduate training in Hawaii deepened her experience with diverse populations and emphasized cultural awareness. That time included clinical placements addressing addictions, cancer survivorship, and severe mental health concerns. Across her work she has supported people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and grief.

She also focuses on body image, codependency, communication problems, career concerns, self-esteem, and LGBT-related issues. Kayla favors clear, concrete techniques and steady listening rather than jargon or long lectures. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral methods with motivational interviewing and elements of mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Sessions typically include practical strategies, skill practice, and space to talk through difficult feelings. She centers a person’s strengths and meets them where they are in the moment. Kayla offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Many people find the variety helpful for fitting therapy into work, school, and family life. To begin, follow the Start Therapy button, complete the short questionnaire, and schedule a time that works for you.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone is stuck in avoidance or feeling stuck about big life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem patterns that repeat. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help clarify what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. From that conversation she will suggest options and adjust methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day, during work breaks, or when travel makes in-person visits difficult.
