Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple, practical exercises. It helps people notice stressful thoughts and bodily tension, and learn short practices to reduce reactivity and feel steadier day to day.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It combines noticing difficult thoughts with committed action so life can move forward even when emotions are hard.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and validation. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and supports them in making choices that fit their goals and life circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayla will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting what’s most helpful over time.
