About Kayla
Kayla Goldsby is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, trauma, anger, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Kayla also lists work with LGBT concerns and a range of related issues such as chronic illness, communication problems, domestic violence, and substance use challenges.
She prefers straightforward conversations that focus on what matters now. Sessions usually look at habits, coping skills, and short-term goals before moving into bigger life patterns. Kayla uses approaches that center the client's perspective and encourage practical change rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes a decade helping people manage panic attacks, mood concerns, and feelings of isolation or shame. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to change substance use or build stronger motivation for life goals.
Kayla also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult personal stories and identify values they want to follow. She supports people wrestling with sexuality, self-love, and complicated relationship events like infidelity. Work can include communication skills practice and problem-focused plans for recurring problems.
People in early adulthood often face pressure around school, first jobs, money, and identity. Kayla recognizes those pressures and helps clients break issues into manageable steps. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kayla often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy during sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns so conversations stay relevant. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment practices that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and stress.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools, then adding mindfulness or narrative work depending on how things progress.
The practical advantages of online work are about fitting therapy into daily life. Confirm the session formats available before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around school or work, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists who work online also adapt exercises and homework so they work in everyday settings and help people practice new skills between sessions.
