About Kayla

Kayla Henry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California who focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With five years of professional experience, she draws on a blend of structured, evidence-informed methods to help clients build practical tools and clarify what matters most to them. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive interaction and tailors conversations and care plans to each person’s unique situation.

Her work also addresses related concerns such as caregiver strain, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions of life purpose, women's issues, and challenges common to young adults. Kayla approaches therapy with compassion and a collaborative stance, framing help as a process that requires courage and active participation.

She aims to empower clients to take concrete steps toward improved wellbeing while adapting interventions to individual goals and preferences.

Online approaches for practical skills and healing

The practice frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; CBT is often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress management through structured skill-building exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to increase psychological flexibility by helping clients clarify values and commit to meaningful action even in the presence of difficult emotions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may be introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when intense emotions or relationship difficulties are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful, adapting session focus over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote formats can make it easier to maintain consistent care while juggling work, family, or other obligations, and they allow therapists to deliver structured interventions and practical tools across a range of concerns.
