About Kayla

Kayla Mulholland is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California who specializes in trauma-informed, mindfulness-based care for immigrant and refugee populations, systems-involved parents, and foster youth. She brings hands-on experience working with Latino migrant day laborers in San Francisco and has lived and collaborated closely with asylum-seeking communities in Spain and Mexico, including clinical work with women and children. Her background includes clinical therapy with foster youth and their parents in California and support for recently arrived immigrant families, giving her a practical understanding of the systemic factors that shape mental health outcomes.

Kayla is committed to social justice and to reducing the stigma that can prevent vulnerable people from seeking support. She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and related concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. Fluent in English and Spanish, she uses evidence-informed methods to help clients build resilience and pursue the life they want. As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - she combines clinical training with community experience to work collaboratively toward each person’s goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used to address anxiety, stress, and problems that involve avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and mood concerns by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and teaches techniques to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, which can be helpful for trauma, stress, and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kayla works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and combines elements from different approaches when that best serves the client.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to schedule sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access care around work, family responsibilities, or transportation limits, and they support continuity of treatment for people in different stages of life and recovery.
