About Kayla
Kayla Ogletree is an LCSW licensed in New Jersey with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related issues such as caregiver strain, body image, and communication problems.
Kayla frames the client as the expert on their own life. She focuses on listening first and helping people notice strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what feels most pressing right now. People who are unsure where to start are guided through small, concrete steps.
Her style draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clarify patterns of thought and behavior. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when clients want help increasing focus or building steady habits. Kayla uses these approaches to support clearer decision making, improved coping, and more manageable daily routines.
She has worked with concerns that often come after big life changes or slow buildups of stress. That includes work and relationship transitions, parenting strains, and challenges tied to aging or immigration. The therapist helps people break down problems into issues they can address one at a time.
Sessions are aimed at useful steps rather than quick fixes. Kayla helps clients set realistic goals and test different strategies between appointments. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work will proceed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the person's concerns and priorities while supporting practical decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In an online setting CBT tools include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors between sessions to see what changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. They check in as work progresses and adjust techniques based on what is or isn't helping.
Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and to keep coaching and homework integrated into everyday life. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for using exercises or mindfulness practices during the week without extra travel.
