About Kayla
Kayla Henry helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma or low self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes, caregiver stress, loneliness, and struggles with guilt or purpose. Kayla is a licensed clinical social worker in California with five years of experience and a practical, respectful approach.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings.
How Kayla works
She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. Kayla uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects daily life.
Solution-Focused methods help set concrete, short-term goals. In a typical meeting Kayla will listen first, then work with the person to set a small goal for change. She teaches coping tools and practices that can be repeated at home.
Over time those small changes add up to clearer thinking and more control over daily stress. Her aim is to create a space where people feel understood and able to try new ways of coping. Kayla wants to help individuals build confidence, improve communication, and find clearer direction in their life choices.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kayla draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and take actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them against real life. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and move toward those goals even when difficult feelings are present.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete practices for steadier reactions and better emotion regulation. Choosing the right approach is a team effort - Kayla will work with each person to see which methods fit their concerns, goals, and daily life. She adjusts techniques based on what the person notices is helping.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for full conversations and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Messaging and live chat allow brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing communication between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping continuity of care.
