About Kayla
Kayla DeDonato is a Kentucky LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and challenges around body image and chronic illness.
Kayla focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps name small changes that can make daily life easier.
When relationships feel uncertain she helps people sort communication and commitment questions. For trauma and abuse she moves at a steady pace and pays attention to safety and pacing. She also supports people managing chronic pain, illness, or cancer related stress by addressing day-to-day coping and realistic planning.
Her style emphasizes direct problem-solving alongside space to talk through feelings. She offers guidance about setting realistic goals, practicing new behaviors, and tracking progress between sessions. People can expect straightforward feedback and concrete strategies to use between meetings.
Kayla accepts clients internationally and works in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online therapy options button. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Kayla draws on commonly used evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and decision-making by breaking down problems into manageable steps. Another approach emphasizes practical coping skills and gradual exposure to difficult situations, which can reduce avoidance and build confidence over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will suggest routes to try. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to prioritize and when to adjust the plan.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling around work, medical appointments, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time on busy days. Double-check the available session formats and scheduling details before your first appointment so sessions fit your everyday life.
