About Kayla
Kayla Chan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also offers coaching-style support around life purpose and direction.
Kayla helps people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. She talks through patterns that keep people tied to old habits. She helps clients notice what matters now and what can be let go.
Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as emotional understanding. Kayla pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, and to feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation. She also supports caregivers coping with stress and those struggling with control or forgiveness.
Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with coaching elements to help people test small changes between sessions. Conversations often include clear, manageable experiments to try in daily life. Progress is tracked in simple, observable ways so decisions about direction become clearer.
Kayla conducts sessions in English and works from California. She does not accept international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic techniques and working online
Two evidence-based approaches often used in this practice are cognitive techniques and attachment-focused work. Cognitive techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small real-world experiments; they can help with anxiety, low self-worth, and depression. Attachment-focused work looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current reactions, which is useful for abandonment fears, control issues, and relationship-related stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed over time and adjusted based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people try therapeutic work alongside family, job, or caregiving responsibilities without promising a specific format.
