Kayla Sterling , LCSW, CSW

Kayla Sterling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of clinical experience. She practices from Wyoming and has worked across community mental health settings. Kayla focuses on women's issues among a broad range of concerns and brings a warm, inviting style to each meeting.

Her approach centers on listening first. She uses client-centered methods and draws from several evidence-informed approaches to match what a person needs. Sessions are practical and geared toward everyday problems like stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, or low self-esteem.

Kayla has a long history treating trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and attention challenges. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, grief, and career transitions. Her experience spans many presenting problems so she can help when concerns overlap.

She prefers to craft plans that fit each person's life. That means setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and checking progress often. Kayla emphasizes acceptance, building emotional skills, and repairing attachment patterns where they cause pain.

People who choose her often want a therapist who listens without judgment and adapts methods to real-life needs. If someone is ready to start work on healing or change, she aims to be steady, practical, and encouraging while they take the next steps.

Approaches used in online therapy and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns show up now and helps rebuild safer, more connected ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, life demands, and comfort with different techniques. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet those goals. Video calls let people talk face to face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or if someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what helps most.
