Getting to know Kayla Niba
Hi, I'm Kayla — a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for walking alongside pre-teens, teens, young adults, and parents through some of life's most challenging moments.
My background spans school and residential treatment settings, which has given me a deep appreciation for the many systems that shape a person's life — family, school, community, and beyond. I bring that whole-person perspective into every session, meeting clients where they are and helping them move toward where they want to be.
I specialize in anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions, and I particularly enjoy working with women navigating the complexities of identity, connection, and change. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we'll work together to break negative patterns, process difficult emotions, and build a practical plan for lasting mental wellbeing.
Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and goal-oriented — because you deserve more than just a space to vent. You deserve tools, clarity, and real progress.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to feel as comfortable and informed as possible before we even meet. Here's what you can expect when working with me:
**Who I work with**
I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, young adults, and parents. If you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or women's issues, you're in the right place.
**How we'll work together**
My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. That means our sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented — we'll identify patterns that aren't serving you, process what needs to be processed, and build a practical plan for moving forward. You won't just leave with insight; you'll leave with tools.
**Free Consultation**
Not sure if we're the right fit? I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, talk about what's bringing you to therapy, and answer any questions before you commit to anything.
**Session format & length**
I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, so you can choose what works best for your schedule and comfort. Sessions are typically 60 minutes, though 30- and 45-minute options are also available depending on your needs.
**Fees & insurance**
I accept most major insurances as well as Medicare. A sliding scale is available for those who need financial flexibility — please don't hesitate to ask.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process is designed to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you. Here's what working together typically looks like:
**Step 1: Free 15-Minute Consultation (Optional)**
If you'd like to connect before diving in, I'm happy to offer a brief consultation call. This is typically available upon request — a chance to share what's going on, ask questions, and get a feel for whether we're a good fit before scheduling.
**Step 2: Intake Session (60 min)**
Our first full session is all about getting to know you — your background, your goals, and what you're hoping to work through. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, navigating a life transition, processing trauma, or something else entirely, this is where we begin to build our roadmap.
**Step 3: Ongoing Sessions**
Sessions are typically 60 minutes and held weekly, especially early on. Using a blend of CBT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we'll work together to break negative patterns, process difficult emotions, and develop practical tools you can use in your everyday life.
**Step 4: Progress Check-Ins**
Periodically, we'll pause to reflect on how things are going and make sure our approach is still the right fit for where you are. Your needs may shift over time, and I want our work together to shift with them.
**Step 5: Transition, Closure, or Maintenance**
When you've reached your goals, we'll work toward a thoughtful ending that honors the growth you've made. That said, not every client is ready to close — and that's okay. Some choose to continue with less frequent maintenance sessions to sustain progress, manage stress, or simply have a consistent space for support.
