Kayla Mulholland , LCSW

Kayla Mulholland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and works with issues that often affect women, including pregnancy and childbirth concerns and the strain of balancing caregiving roles.

Kayla draws on five years of professional clinical experience. She emphasizes practical strategies that fit into daily life. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help clients build new habits and respond differently to difficult thoughts. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to clarify goals and find workable next steps.

Kayla has a history of working in community settings and with parents involved in care systems. That background shapes how she thinks about stress, trauma, and the outside pressures people face. She aims to recognize how life circumstances affect feelings and behaviors while helping clients move toward what matters to them.

In sessions she encourages people to name their strengths and use them to handle challenges like grief, anger, and relationship problems. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on practical tools people can use between meetings.

People who want straightforward, skills-based support and a therapist who communicates in English or Spanish may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy uses brief attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and daily routine. Sessions can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what proves most helpful for managing symptoms and moving toward personal priorities.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people talk face-to-face and use visual cues, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while still using the approaches above to make practical changes.
