About Kayla

Kayla Luu brings nine years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Florida. She earned a Master of Social Work and holds LCSW licenses in Florida and Arizona. Kayla speaks English and Vietnamese and balances her professional life with being a wife and mother to four children.

She previously worked in community mental health, school settings, and adult centers. Before graduate school she supported children and adolescents in foster-care transition and residential programs.

Background and approach

Those roles shaped how she approaches everyday struggles and long-term change. Kayla aims for a warm, open approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people notice practical steps they can try between meetings.

Sessions tend to focus on manageable tools for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and low mood. She uses a mix of methods including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered conversation. Those methods are used to address issues such as trauma, ADHD, career questions, family-of-origin concerns, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Kayla works with people who want clear, straightforward help making small changes that add up. She can hold conversations in English or Vietnamese and draws on her background supporting diverse life experiences when helping people set goals and try new ways of coping.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that match what matters to them. It can help when life changes, anxiety, or feelings of emptiness get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, depression, and many day-to-day worries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. Adjustments are expected as work progresses so the plan matches what is actually helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework discussion, or when a shorter format fits a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, school, or family routines.
