About Kayla
Kayla Sterling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of clinical experience. She practices from Wyoming and draws on a broad background in community mental health. Kayla speaks plainly and invites people to bring their real-life struggles to sessions.
Her approach is warm and client-centered. She uses tools from several evidence-based methods, and she adapts techniques to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as understanding patterns that drive stress, anxiety, or mood shifts.
Background and approach
Kayla has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. She also helps with parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, grief, career changes, and coping with life transitions. Her background includes substance use and trauma care in community settings.
In the room she aims to offer acceptance and steady support while helping people build skills. That can mean learning new ways to manage intense feelings, practicing communication, or defining personal values and goals. She blends structured techniques with a focus on connection and safety.
Kayla encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward recovery. She emphasizes collaboration and tailors the pace to each person. Her style is steady and encouraging for those ready to start a healing journey.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep, and some eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on helping people understand relational patterns and build more supported ways of relating to others, which can be useful for intimacy, parenting strain, and trauma-related relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayla collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in to adjust the plan over time so it stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from another location, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick support or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow people to continue care from wherever they are in Wyoming.
