About Kayla
Kayla Daniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She supports concerns such as relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD. Kayla also works with issues related to caregiving, chronic illness, and multicultural stressors.
She brings ten years of experience in the field and five years working directly as a therapist. Her style is warm, open, and strengths-based. She aims to walk alongside people rather than direct them, honoring each person’s way of learning and growing.
In sessions she uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to identify small, doable steps. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and mindfulness practices to manage stress and anxiety.
Kayla values fairness, equity, and compassion in the work. She and the client build a plan that reflects the person’s goals and day-to-day limits. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room for exploring deeper experiences when needed.
Her background includes work with a broad range of people across the lifespan and experience addressing trauma, domestic violence, and veteran-related concerns. Kayla encourages honest conversations about what’s not working and practical changes people can try between sessions.

How Kayla’s Approaches Work Online
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and find personal reasons to move forward. It uses open questions and reflective conversation to boost motivation and confidence, which can help with substance use, ambivalence about change, or starting new habits.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and offering support that respects each person’s pace. This approach helps people who need a calmer space to sort through feelings like grief, anxiety, or identity concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete skills to shift them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by giving step-by-step strategies to practice between sessions.
Finding the right way to work is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they’ll try approaches that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and let people choose whether to use video or another format when those options are offered. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so therapy fits day-to-day routines. -
