About Kayla
Kayla Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Hawaii and holds an LICSW in Massachusetts with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, LGBT concerns, and self-esteem challenges. Kayla also pays attention to body image, codependency, career questions, and communication problems.
She began in nutrition and moved into psychology before completing a Master of Social Work. That path led to work with eating disorders, addictions, cancer survivors, and people experiencing serious mental health concerns. Those early roles shaped how she approaches practical problems today.
In session she uses straightforward methods adapted to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are central to her work, alongside Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches. She listens, reflects, and helps clients weigh options and make decisions that fit their life.
Kayla describes herself as adaptable from years of varied settings - from outreach with people experiencing homelessness to school-aged services and outpatient mental health. Her graduate training emphasized cultural competence and that perspective shows up in how she talks with people.
Her sessions focus on daily functioning and clear steps people can try between visits. The emphasis is on practical goals - managing symptoms, improving communication, reducing risky behavior, and handling grief or life transitions. Readers should confirm current session formats before booking.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people who feel stuck by encouraging practical steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so clients can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kayla will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what is helpful. That could mean using a behavioral experiment one week and values-guided planning the next, depending on the client's needs and preferences.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows therapists to use screen-shared worksheets, real-time mindfulness exercises, and homework review during the session to support carryover into daily life.
