About Kayla
Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps parents and adults manage stress and parenting challenges. She draws on nine years of clinical experience and practical work in child protective services to support people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma-related concerns. She focuses on improving interactions between parents and their children and easing family strain.
Sessions are warm and inviting, with a straightforward emphasis on what to try at home.
Background and approach
Kayla uses everyday language and clear steps so busy parents can use what they learn right away. Her background includes extensive social services work and education in trauma-informed care. That experience informs how she approaches attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, and fertility or pregnancy-related stress.
She also works with people coping with ADHD, panic, and mood-related challenges. Therapy sessions blend practical skills and reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and build effective routines.
Client-centered methods create space to be heard and to set goals at a comfortable pace. Parents facing compassion fatigue, financial stress, or changes in family life will find a therapist who listens and helps plan small, realistic steps. Kayla aims to make therapy useful and manageable for daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person where they are. It gives space for a parent or individual to share concerns and set goals at their own pace, which helps when adjusting routines or parenting strategies.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, lays out clear skills to change thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and managing day-to-day parenting stress through practical exercises and homework between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with conversation-based support and adding CBT tools or solution-focused steps as goals become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging make it simple to check in, get brief coaching, or follow up after a session. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
