About Kayla
Kayla Thompson is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, and low self-esteem. Kayla also supports those recovering from trauma and sexual assault.
She focuses on treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She keeps conversations practical and tailored to the person in front of her. Kayla works with clients to set clear, manageable goals and to build small, steady changes that add up.
How Kayla works
Sessions are aimed at improving day-to-day coping, increasing self-love, and reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then suggests steps that match a client’s needs and preferences.
Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made and new concerns arise. Kayla describes therapy as a process that takes courage. She emphasizes empowerment and skills people can use outside of sessions.
The focus is on helping clients feel more confident, capable, and in control of their lives. She offers online formats so people can connect in ways that fit their schedules. Kayla communicates in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC.
If someone wants to begin, she guides them through simple next steps to get matched and scheduled.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Kayla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and recovery from trauma. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress through step-by-step practice of new behaviors and thought habits. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic memories and building safety and stability in daily life so symptoms of post-traumatic stress and reactions to sexual assault reduce over time.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and current concerns. From there they decide together which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent and accessible while focusing on the same therapeutic work they would do in person.
