About Kayla

Kayla Luu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience. She holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Florida State University and is licensed to practice in Florida and Arizona. Kayla draws on her years in community mental health, schools, and adult services to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Her early work included roles in foster-care transition settings and residential centers, giving her practical insight into complex family and developmental issues. That background informs how she listens for patterns in attachment, abandonment, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people facing immigration stress, caregiver strain, and career or purpose questions.

Kayla blends several practical approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to focus on values, skills, and realistic behavior change. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the person’s goals.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people identify small, workable steps and build skills for everyday life. Clients can expect straightforward tools for coping, thought patterns, and communication problems.

Kayla speaks English and Vietnamese and lives in Florida. She balances her professional life with family time and creative hobbies like painting and reading. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule sessions.

How Kayla uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard feelings. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying out different behaviors to change mood and stress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kayla works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques over time so sessions match what each person needs and prefers.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what will be offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care while living in different parts of Florida or when juggling family and work responsibilities.
