About Kayla
Kayla Luu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Arizona with nine years of experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from Florida State University and has worked in community mental health, schools, and adult centers. Kayla communicates in English and Vietnamese and lives in Florida.
Kayla helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, and career questions. Blended family issues are listed among her focus areas, including stepfamily and co-parenting tensions.
Her early work involved children, adolescents, and families in foster-care transition settings and residential centers. That experience shaped her practical approach to everyday problems and family dynamics. She uses several talk-therapy methods to help people build skills and try new ways of relating.
Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. Treatment often involves identifying values, testing small behavior changes, and practicing new communication patterns.
Outside of work she is bilingual in Vietnamese, is a wife and mother, and spends free time reading, painting, and being outdoors. Information about scheduling and session arrangements is handled through the site’s matching and booking process.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them. It can help with life transitions, persistent worry, or the friction that comes with blended household roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills training. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening-based stance where the person’s priorities guide the work, which supports exploring relationship and parenting questions collaboratively.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, and methods are combined to match what the client finds helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. They also allow for practicing skills in everyday settings and using exercises between meetings to track progress.
