Kayla Stoltmann , LCSW

Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and women's issues. She works with adults on mood concerns, parenting struggles, and the strain that comes with life transitions. Her tone is warm and down-to-earth, and she focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions.

Kayla has nine years of experience in social work and clinical settings in Wisconsin. Early in her career she worked in child protective services and spent many years supporting adults and parents as they navigated family challenges. That background informs how she thinks about attachment, adoption and foster care, and parenting dynamics.

Her sessions draw on client-centered work that starts with what matters to the person in front of her. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies help people find short-term relief and build momentum toward longer goals.

Kayla also addresses trauma and compassion fatigue with trauma-focused ideas and a trauma-informed lens. She supports people coping with fertility and pregnancy concerns, adoption and attachment questions, and financial stress that affects mood and relationships.

Therapy can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life

Client-centered therapy begins by listening to a person's priorities and tailoring sessions around their goals. It helps people feel heard and build plans that make sense for their daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and many stress-related problems because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away. It can be useful for worry, stress, and coping with trauma reminders.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal style. Plans may change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching. These formats help people fit sessions into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
