About Kayla
Kayla Culleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience based in Texas. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, mood-related struggles, and a range of life stressors. Her practice includes work around addiction, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Kayla uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She helps people talk through what’s happening now, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and try small behavior changes to reduce distress. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with attention to both feelings and actions.
Her background blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to address difficult relationship experiences and motivational interviewing when substance use or change readiness are part of the work. This mix aims to match methods to the problem at hand.
In early meetings Kayla helps clients set clear, short-term goals. She often uses brief experiments and problem-solving steps that can be practiced between sessions. The focus is on usable skills rather than long explanations.
People who feel anxious about social situations or panic attacks may find sessions that gently target those moments useful. Kayla supports work on communication problems and life purpose questions alongside mood management. Her approach is practical, steady, and focused on measurable steps forward.
How Kayla’s approaches translate to online work
Kayla uses client-centered therapy to listen closely and set goals that matter to the client. This approach focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and building practical steps from there, which can be helpful for people overwhelmed by social situations or life changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT includes short experiments and homework tasks that fit well with remote sessions because they are concrete and activity-based.
Motivational interviewing is used when readiness for change is part of the work, particularly with drug and alcohol concerns. It helps people clarify reasons for change and move toward small, manageable steps instead of pushing for sudden shifts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Kayla will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels workable. That choice is revisited as progress is made.
