About Kayla
Kayla Ogletree is an LCSW licensed in New Jersey with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Kayla speaks English and works with people who want practical ways to feel more steady and in control.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their story. She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to identify what is getting in the way and which small changes could help. Sessions are straightforward and aim to pin down thoughts and habits that maintain distress, then try different ways of responding.
Kayla draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test alternatives. She also uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment noticing, and motivational interviewing supports readiness for change when motivation is low.
In sessions she helps people practice specific skills they can use between meetings. Examples include spotting automatic thoughts, trying behavioral experiments, and building short routines that reduce stress. She talks through barriers and helps plan concrete next steps rather than only talking about feelings.
People who contact Kayla should expect direct discussion of problems, brief skill-building exercises, and a focus on what can be tested in daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kayla combines cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in a practical way. CBT involves identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, then testing small changes through experiments. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person so goals and steps come from their priorities. Mindfulness practice is often added to teach simple attention and breathing skills for intense moments.Finding the best mix of methods is part of the work. Kayla will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn't helpful and adjusts the plan together as progress unfolds.
