About Kayla
Kayla Sterling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) with 11 years of clinical experience. She practices from Wyoming and brings a broad background working in community mental health settings. Kayla lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting, anger, and ADHD among others.
Her work emphasizes practical, person-focused sessions. She uses a client-centered stance and draws on several therapy methods to fit what the person needs. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with room to address trauma, coping skills, and patterns that keep problems repeating.
Kayla has significant trauma experience and treats a wide range of diagnoses and problems. Her background includes substance abuse work and helping people manage mood conditions such as bipolar disorder, as well as grief and chronic stress. She also lists additional focuses like attachment issues, adoption and foster care, codependency, and body image concerns.
In session she pulls from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. That gives people options for learning emotion regulation, changing unhelpful thoughts, and improving relationship patterns.
Her style is described in basic terms as inviting and collaborative. If someone wants clear strategies for managing anger, improving communication, or reducing anxiety, she offers practical tools and steady support to work on those goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people act in line with their values while making room for difficult feelings. It helps with anger, anxiety, and stressful life changes by shifting the focus from avoiding feelings to building meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to interrupt unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anger management, anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness so people can manage intense reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayla collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list exact options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten routine check-ins when needed, or let someone join without traveling. Licensed professionals use these formats to help people practice skills between meetings and to apply what they learn in daily life.
