Background and approach
Dr. McKayle uses methods that encourage self-awareness and small, steady changes over time. Her work includes attention to relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, grief, addiction, and trauma and abuse.
She also supports people dealing with career stress, anger, blended family concerns, and body image struggles. Military-related stress and veteran issues are part of her background as well. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person's priorities, and uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Motivational interviewing is included when people want help finding their own reasons to change. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns that repeat across relationships. People describe practical gains like clearer communication, steadier moods, and better coping with life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Dr. McKayle works from Florida as a licensed LMHC and tailors her approach to each person she meets.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist helps people set priorities and adjust pace so conversations stay relevant to daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes; it works well online with worksheets, short experiments, and regular check-ins. Imago relationship therapy supports clearer communication and understanding between partners by teaching structured dialogues that can be practiced during or between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then recommend a flexible plan that can mix approaches. Clients and the therapist review progress and adapt methods as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and shared exercises, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day and require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, short goal-setting, and ongoing prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
