About Kayla
Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, and mood concerns. She writes in direct, approachable language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy lives. Kayla draws on nine years of experience working in social services and clinical settings.
That background shaped a trauma-informed outlook and a focus on improving how people relate to family members and to themselves.
How Kayla works
Sessions are warm and welcoming, with an emphasis on practical steps clients can use between meetings. Her work often combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she listens closely to a person’s goals, then helps identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
Together they try small, achievable experiments to reduce distress and build new routines. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused tools to help people manage panic, grief, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue. Motivational interviewing appears when clients want to shift habits or make life changes but feel unsure how to start.
Kayla supports a wide range of concerns including adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, fertility and pregnancy related struggles, money stress, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.
If someone wants to begin, the process starts by selecting Start Therapy, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time that fits with the therapist’s calendar.

Approaches for online healing and practical change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful partnership. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort emotions and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and uses clear, step-by-step exercises to shift them. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood changes, and difficulties with impulsivity or ADHD by teaching concrete skills to test and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what works. Sessions are collaborative, with homework or short exercises when those tools seem helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer talk therapy. Phone works well when bandwidth is low or when speaking without video helps. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or ongoing encouragement between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other life demands.
