Kayla Sterling

Kayla Sterling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health settings and helps people facing a wide range of challenges. Kayla keeps a warm and inviting style in sessions and focuses on tailor-made care for each person.

She has worked with people across the age span and with many different diagnoses. Her practice includes trauma work and substance use concerns, and she has substantial experience with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and PTSD. This background informs how she plans treatment and supports clients through difficult moments.

Kayla uses a client-centered approach and draws from several evidence-based methods to suit individual needs. She emphasizes unconditional positive regard and builds a collaborative plan with each person. Sessions center on practical steps, coping skills, and making changes that match a person’s goals.

People who seek help for career stress, relationship problems, grief, parenting strain, or eating and sleeping difficulties may find her approach useful. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and the effects of disaster or loss.

Her credentials include LCSW and CSW and she practices from Wyoming. Kayla encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers support through the process of working toward clearer goals and healthier routines.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early bonds to help improve trust, closeness, and emotional connection in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayla will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options when being on camera or using more bandwidth is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these flexibilities to keep therapy practical and consistent with a person’s routine.
