Kayla Richardson

Kayla Richardson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Vermont with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Kayla also lists life purpose among her areas of focus and works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and isolation or loneliness.

Her sessions use clear, practical conversation. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people feel stuck about making changes.

Kayla supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability and with conditions such as autism or intellectual disability. She also addresses panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood changes, and feelings of guilt or shame. Relationship questions and control issues are part of her regular caseload.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. Sessions include talking through current problems, trying out different ways of thinking, and setting small steps to test new habits. She helps people consider what matters next when work, relationships, or life changes leave them feeling unsure.

Sessions are conducted in English and Kayla does not accept international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Kayla uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. In practice this means sessions begin with open conversation about your priorities, and the therapist reflects back what seems most important so goals become clearer.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Online sessions may include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying new coping strategies, and assigning small exercises to practice between meetings; this can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term method for people who feel unsure about making changes. It uses focused questions and collaborative planning to increase readiness for action and set achievable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayla will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative choice can change as you learn what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, and audio-only conversations use less bandwidth. Ask about session length and format when you schedule so arrangements fit your routine.
