Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Kayla La Rosa integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people navigate emotional and practical challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so the person feels heard and supported as they explore their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy techniques to teach present-moment awareness and coping skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These approaches can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, coping with life changes, trauma recovery, and managing substance use concerns. Choosing the right approach is part of the process - Kayla works collaboratively with people to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access support from different settings. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow follow-up between sessions, and help maintain continuity of care for those balancing work, family, or health-related constraints.
