About Kayla

Kayla La Rosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends practical, client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies to address a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on motivational and solution-focused techniques to help people build on their strengths and move toward goals related to stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, grief, and major life changes. Her style is grounded in empathy and mindfulness while remaining direct and goal-oriented when the situation calls for it.

With three years of clinical experience in Florida, Kayla has supported clients facing chronic and acute illness, career transitions, family difficulties, and trauma. She emphasizes respect, clear boundaries, and the client’s own expertise in shaping treatment.

Sessions can include skill-building from CBT, supportive listening, and practical problem-solving tailored to each person’s priorities. Kayla offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she checks in with clients between appointments for encouragement and brief support.

She welcomes new clients and aims to create a collaborative space for people taking steps toward change.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develops practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some forms of trauma-related symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening, validation, and supporting the client’s own insight so people can explore values and make choices aligned with their goals. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can complement cognitive and motivational work in sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kayla works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time based on what is most helpful for progress and comfort.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity between meetings. These options offer flexibility for people who prefer spoken sessions or brief written check-ins, and they allow a licensed professional to deliver guided skill practice, motivational support, and solution-focused planning from wherever the client is located in Florida.
