About Kayla
Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, ADHD, and money and financial issues. Her tone is warm and approachable and she focuses on practical, doable steps people can use right away.
Kayla draws on nine years of experience in social services and clinical work. Before becoming a licensed therapist she spent many years in child protective services, which shaped her focus on family interactions and safety. That background informs how she thinks about adoption, foster care, attachment, and parenting concerns.
In sessions she uses client-centered ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with some mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when they fit. That means conversations are guided by what matters to the client, with attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments can change daily life.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Sessions tend to aim for practical goals like improving communication with children, managing panic and anxiety, or creating healthier daily routines.
Kayla works in English and practices in Wisconsin. People who are navigating life transitions, fertility or pregnancy-related stress, compassion fatigue, or concerns about self-esteem may find her style straightforward and supportive.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach center the client's goals and preferences, so the therapist helps guide conversations based on your priorities and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In an online session CBT can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into daily life to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Online work often pairs brief guided exercises with planning for when and where to use them during the week.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kayla will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Please confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can happen around work, school, or family responsibilities.
