Kayla Mulholland

Kayla Mulholland is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on five years of clinical experience to support people through hard transitions. Kayla emphasizes mindfulness and practical tools to ease day-to-day challenges.

Kayla centers her work on trauma-informed, mindfulness-based care. She combines Mindfulness Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts, choose values-based action, and build coping skills. Sessions often include simple practices to lower stress and short exercises to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her background includes long-term community mental health work and direct experience with immigrant and asylum-seeking communities in North America and Europe. That history shapes how she understands systemic stressors and cultural factors in people’s lives. She aims to create a space where clients can name barriers and find workable steps forward.

Kayla uses a collaborative style. She treats each person as the expert of their story and co-designs goals based on strengths and priorities. Conversations focus on practical strategies, small experiments between sessions, and clearer communication skills when relationships feel strained.

People who prefer an approachable, down-to-earth therapist may find her style helpful. She encourages curiosity, self-compassion, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Kayla looks forward to helping people explore goals and practice skills that fit real life.

Mindfulness and practical approaches for online work

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on bringing gentle awareness to the present moment. It teaches simple breathing and attention practices that can reduce reactivity and calm the body when stress or panic appears. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and recommend practices that fit your life. Sessions are collaborative, so people try techniques and then adjust them based on what felt useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments in the settings where they live and work, so skills carry over into everyday life.
