About Kayla
Kayla Sterling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience in clinical settings. She practices from Wyoming and offers a warm, inviting approach aimed at helping people make changes that matter. Kayla focuses on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, ADHD, and bipolar symptoms.
She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, body image, and career transitions.
How Kayla works
Her work includes attention to attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and codependency. Her style is client-centered and collaborative. Sessions are built around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Clients can expect direct conversation, practical skills, and space to talk about difficult experiences without judgment. Kayla uses several evidence-based approaches depending on the situation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor the work.
The focus is on helping people cope with symptoms, improve relationships, and build routines that support daily life. People who choose Kayla often want a therapist who listens closely, offers clear strategies, and respects their pace. She invites clients to take small steps toward their goals and to practice new skills between sessions.
The result is a practical, steady path toward managing symptoms and improving well-being.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when emotions are difficult; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and relationship struggles.Finding the right method is a shared process. Kayla will work together with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process may include mixing methods so the work matches real-life challenges.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls let you use verbal and visual cues for a fuller conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging can support ongoing coaching or brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while using the approaches described above.
