About Kayla

Kayla Goldsby is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She has 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Kayla aims to meet people where they are and help them take the next step forward.

She uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people tell their story in a different way. Kayla also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to offer practical tools for everyday life.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, doable changes. Common topics Kayla addresses include self-esteem, motivation, relationship strain, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability and those navigating issues like infidelity, domestic violence, or drug and alcohol addiction.

The aim is to reduce distress and build clearer choices rather than rely on one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions move at a pace set by each person. Kayla listens first, then helps set goals and experiments with strategies that fit daily routines.

She uses motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change when needed. People who prefer practical steps alongside deeper meaning work often do well with her style. Kayla works in English and practices from Florida, combining empathy with structured approaches to help people regain a sense of control and direction.

Online session options

Narrative and Practical Tools Delivered Online

Kayla commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves and their lives. This approach focuses on separating a person from a problem and finding alternate angles that open up new choices. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening, empathy, and the person's own perspective to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that maintain anxiety, low mood, or problematic habits.

Choosing the right approach is a process she shares with each person. Kayla works with clients to identify goals, try small strategies, and then adjust methods based on what feels useful. The work is collaborative so the therapeutic plan can change as needs and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer talking sessions and hands-on skill work. Phone sessions are often better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, homework review, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on clear, practical progress.
