About Kayla
Kayla DeDonato is an LPCC licensed in Kentucky with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. Kayla also addresses related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, commitment issues, and challenges tied to chronic illness or major life disruption.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are a place to talk through what feels overwhelming and to try small changes that make daily life easier. Kayla listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them experiment with new ways of responding to stress and other people.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, relationship patterns, and trauma responses. She works with clients to build clearer boundaries, improve communication, and reduce repetitive coping behaviors that cause burnout. The work balances exploring past hurts with learning skills for handling current situations.
Kayla emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients set realistic goals and checks in on what is or isn’t working. Progress often comes from short, practical shifts rather than big, sudden changes.
Her background includes over a decade of supporting people through relationship strain, abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and the stresses of caregiving or chronic illness. Sessions are conducted in English and Kayla accepts international clients, with scheduling and formats to be confirmed when booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on both thinking and behavior. Cognitive approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts and test more realistic ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Skills-based techniques work on concrete skills like boundary setting, communication, and coping strategies for stress or chronic illness.The therapist treats finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize over time.
Confirm the exact session formats and scheduling details when booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and let people check in between commitments. Some formats also let a session be done without video, which can help on low-bandwidth days or when a shorter check-in feels most useful.
