About Kayla
Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who helps adults and parents manage stress, anxiety, ADHD concerns, and changes in family life. She writes and speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less overwhelming. Kayla meets people where they are and focuses on practical ways to improve day-to-day interactions and coping skills.
She draws on nearly a decade of experience that began in social services, including work with child protective services.
Background and approach
That background shaped her focus on family dynamics, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment concerns. Kayla also supports people dealing with grief, pregnancy and childbirth stresses, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she relies on client-centered principles, using listening and collaboration to set priorities together.
She commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help clarifying goals and building motivation. Her approach is warm and straightforward.
Parents can expect help improving interactions with children and managing practical parenting stress. Adults facing mood disorders, panic, impulsivity, or financial stress will find concrete strategies to try between sessions. Kayla works in English and practices across a range of life-stage concerns without taking international clients.
She emphasizes a step-by-step process so people can try new ways of coping and adjust the plan as they progress.
Approaches that guide online work and practical change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, clarifies priorities, and supports choices so clients feel understood and able to try new steps. This approach helps with motivation, confidence, and improving relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Kayla uses CBT to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test different behaviors, and build routines that reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. It is useful for managing ADHD-related challenges like impulsivity and organization as well as mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kayla will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their daily life. She adjusts strategies based on what is helpful and keeps the plan flexible as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to work in smaller steps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family and work demands.
