About Kayla
Kayla Mulholland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and trauma. She works with individuals who are facing depression, compassion fatigue, anger, and life changes. Kayla draws on practical skills and quiet, steady support to help people move toward goals they choose.
Kayla has five years of clinical experience and a longer history in community mental health settings. Her work has included therapy with foster youth and parents in California, women and children in Mexico, and recently arrived immigrant families. She has lived and worked in Spanish-speaking communities and uses that experience when offering care in English and Spanish.
Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people identify small, workable steps. Sessions tend to focus on making sense of current problems, building coping skills, and finding concrete changes that match a person’s life.
Kayla values cultural context and recognizes how systems and immigration issues affect mental health. She emphasizes resilience and practical problem solving over labels. Clients can expect collaboration - she sees people as experts in their own stories and offers tools they can use between sessions.
Those who want to begin are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. Kayla aims to reduce stigma around seeking help and supports people as they work toward clearer direction and more manageable daily routines.
How these approaches guide online work
Kayla uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match priorities, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. CBT offers clear, often short-term exercises that target mood, worry, and daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Kayla will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She emphasizes collaboration and adjusts the plan as people try techniques and report what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make language-matching simpler for Spanish or English speakers. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit your routine.
