Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kayla Daniels uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration to help individuals explore their strengths and make choices that fit their lives.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching clear strategies for coping.
Mindfulness therapy is another tool in her practice, encouraging gentle attention to present-moment experience to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques can support coping with grief, chronic stress, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Daniels works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and the ability to engage from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy in ways that fit daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each individual.
