About Kayla
Kayla Sterling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) practicing in Wyoming with 11 years of experience in community mental health settings. She has worked with many kinds of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar disorder, grief, and stress. She also lists relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career-related concerns.
Kayla has treated people across the age spectrum and has experience with multiple diagnoses and co-occurring problems. Her background includes work with PTSD, generalized anxiety, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality-related concerns, and substance use issues. She has provided individual therapy, group therapy, and play therapy in her clinical roles.
Her stated clinical approaches include Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Those approaches guide how she helps people name emotions, look at patterns, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Kayla describes her style as client-centered and eclectic. She aims to match interventions to each person’s situation and preferences rather than using a single method for everyone. This often means combining skills work with attention to emotional experience and relationship patterns.
She practices as an LCSW with credentials listed as LCSW and CSW. Sessions and next steps are arranged through the site’s booking flow and the short matching questionnaire used to schedule a first appointment.
How Kayla uses EFT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and how they shape relationship patterns. It helps people notice how feelings lead to repeated interactions and then practice different emotional responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that align with personal values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns that shape how people connect and respond to others. It can be useful when intimacy, abandonment, or attachment difficulties are part of the concern.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That might mean using EFT to track emotional patterns while adding ACT skills for managing distress.
