Getting to know Kayla Smith
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am deeply committed to helping individuals heal, grow, and reconnect with their sense of self. I provide a safe, affirming, and trauma-informed space where clients can feel heard and supported. My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from modalities like EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I aim to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to meet you where you are, emotionally and mentally, and work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I focus on creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and respect. Sessions with me are guided by your goals—we may explore patterns, build new coping strategies, or process difficult emotions, all in a supportive environment. I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, depending on your needs.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
n our initial sessions, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, discussing what brings you to therapy, and identifying the goals you’d like to work on. As we move forward, I tailor sessions to your needs—this may involve talk therapy, developing coping tools, or using EMDR to help process stuck or distressing memories. Throughout our work, I create space for both reflection and action, always checking in to ensure you feel safe, supported, and in control of your journey.
