About Kayla
Kayla Fruetel is a licensed professional counselor and mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She centers conversations on the person's own experience and strengths. Kayla aims to make starting therapy feel approachable and affirming for people taking that first step.
She uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. That often means listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and trying out small, practical strategies between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts, and on client-centered listening to follow each person's pace.
Kayla also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness into the process. Those tools are used to build steady coping skills, manage strong emotions, and practice noticing thoughts without getting swept away by them. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change and keep momentum.
Across eight years of practice, Kayla has worked with concerns like trauma, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and the specific pressures young adults face. She pays attention to guilt, shame, isolation, and the struggle to develop self-love. Her work aims to help people move toward more balanced daily routines and clearer goals.
