About Kayla
Kayla Luu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Arizona with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, life changes, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, depression, coaching goals, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese.
Kayla draws on years in community mental health, schools, and adult services. Before graduate school she worked with children, adolescents, and families in foster-care transition and residential settings. That background informs how she notices family patterns and attachment concerns in everyday life.
Her style focuses on practical conversation and skills. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Expect discussions that link thoughts, behaviors, and values to concrete next steps.
Kayla pays attention to parenting dynamics, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses abandonment, attachment wounds, communication problems, isolation, and immigration-related stress. Sessions include normalizing what clients are facing and mapping small changes to daily routines.
She balances clinical work with life as a Vietnamese-American wife and mother of four. That perspective shows up in straightforward, practical guidance about fitting therapy around busy schedules. To start, prospective clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Online sessions using ACT, CBT, and client-centered work
Kayla uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. ACT often focuses on building willingness to face difficult thoughts and on committing to small behavioral steps that reflect personal priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect unhelpful thought patterns with behavior and mood. CBT offers concrete tools for challenging thoughts, testing assumptions, and building new habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Client-centered work is part of her approach when people need a listening-driven session to sort feelings and priorities. That style keeps the conversation focused on what the client finds most important and helps identify next steps at a manageable pace.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt over time based on what helps in weekly work.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to join from a quieter setting during a break.
