About Kayla
Kayla Luu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience. She is licensed in Florida and Arizona and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, coping with life changes, depression, ADHD, and relationship and family issues.
She spent years working in community mental health, schools, and adult centers after completing a Master of Social Work at Florida State University in 2016. Before grad school she worked with children, adolescents, and foster-care and residential programs. That background informs how she notices patterns and responds to practical problems in day-to-day life.
Her sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Conversations often include noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building small routines that make daily life easier.
Kayla also addresses specific themes like attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, immigration concerns, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She supports parents navigating fatherhood issues, blended household demands, and family of origin struggles.
She offers therapy in English and Vietnamese and works from Florida. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the site button for online therapy options.
How CBT, ACT and client-centered work online
Kayla integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include specific practice tasks and brief experiments you try between meetings to test what works for daily life.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking small steps toward meaningful goals. Client-centered techniques focus on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities guide each session.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on the problem, goals, and what the person prefers. That can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists use these practical benefits to help people practice skills in everyday settings and keep therapy aligned with daily routines.
