About Kayla
Kayla La Rosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem struggles, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Kayla also lists concerns such as coping with family problems, cancer-related stress, social anxiety and ADHD among her focus areas.
Her approach centers on client-centered therapy combined with solution-focused and motivational techniques. She aims to help people clarify goals and draw on their own strengths to make practical changes. Sessions are straightforward and mindful, and she emphasizes clear boundaries, respect, and dignity in the therapeutic relationship.
Kayla uses cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness tools to address patterns of thinking and to build day-to-day coping skills. She can work on motivation for change, breaking unhelpful habits, and setting small, achievable steps. Those dealing with compassion fatigue or chronic illness concerns can expect a focus on usable strategies rather than abstract theory.
She offers regular check-ins between sessions for non-emergency messaging and brief encouragement. Kayla’s background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work. In her free time she reads, takes her rescue dog on outings, and tries new hobbies.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. It is useful for people who want a respectful, collaborative process to address family stresses or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions use practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out new behaviors. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or habits.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience through simple practices. It can help reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, chronic illness concerns, or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep momentum while they work on stress, family concerns, or life changes.
