About Kayla

Kayla Mulholland, LCSW, focuses on people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, or depression. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy feel practical and down to earth. Her style centers on helping people use their strengths to move past old patterns and get clearer about what they want.

Kayla started her work in community mental health about 12 years ago, supporting Latino migrant day laborers in San Francisco. She has lived in Spain and Mexico and has worked with asylum-seeking and recently arrived immigrant families. That early work shaped a long-term interest in social justice and the ways systems affect mental health.

Her clinical background includes therapy with foster youth and parents and with women and children in Mexico. She brings experience supporting people through trauma, parenting challenges, and the stress that comes with big life changes. Kayla emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions.

Therapy with her draws on mindfulness and approaches that help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses goal-focused methods to find simple steps forward when problems feel overwhelming. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Kayla believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that small changes build momentum. She aims to reduce stigma around asking for help and to support people in creating lives that feel more manageable and meaningful.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for depression, anxiety, and navigating life changes by focusing on meaningful direction rather than getting stuck on feeling better right away. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It can help with mood, worry, and relationship habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Session logistics and exact online options should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions let them keep therapy consistent while juggling work, parenting, or other commitments.
