Kayla Luu

Kayla Luu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a calm, steady presence to conversations about stress, parenting, and major life changes. Kayla speaks English and Vietnamese and draws on her own family life to relate to everyday struggles.

Kayla earned a Master of Social Work from Florida State University in 2016 and has worked in community mental health, schools, and an adult center. Before graduate school she spent years supporting children, adolescents, and caregivers in foster-care transition programs and residential settings. That background shapes her practical, down-to-earth approach.

In sessions she focuses on what matters most to each person. She uses mindfulness techniques to ground difficult moments and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods help people figure out values and long-term goals.

Kayla helps people talk through anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship and family issues, identity concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, and ADHD-related challenges. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, immigration issues, loneliness, and finding life purpose.

Her style is warm and respectful. She asks practical questions, listens closely, and offers exercises that can fit into a busy day. Many clients work on small skills between sessions to build steady change.

To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session rates vary with location and therapist availability.

How mindfulness and ACT fit into online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being swept away by them. It often involves short grounding exercises, breathing practices, and moment-to-moment awareness that can reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to identify their values and take small, committed steps toward them. It uses acceptance strategies alongside practical behavior changes to help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the goals. The therapist reflects, listens deeply, and helps clarify what matters most to the client.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kayla will work with each person to decide which techniques are most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking in, and adjusting as needed rather than assuming one method fits everyone.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting care into a busy life easier by allowing shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or offering options that reduce the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can guide you through practical exercises, homework, and mindful practices that translate into daily routines.
