About Kayla Davis

Kayla Davis is a licensed social worker with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, and challenges related to self-esteem and career concerns. She developed her clinical foundation while working with eating disorder populations and expanded her practice to include addictions, cancer survivors and their families, homeless and teen populations, and other mental health concerns across diverse settings. Kayla emphasizes cultural awareness and tailors care to each person's strengths, meeting clients where they are in their recovery and growth.

Her training began with an Associate of Applied Science in Nutrition from the University of New Hampshire, followed by a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Bridgewater State University. She later completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Hawaii Pacific University, where internships deepened her experience with addictions, family systems affected by illness, and serious mental illness. That training included a strong emphasis on cultural competence that continues to inform her day-to-day clinical work.

Kayla integrates evidence-informed methods in her practice, particularly cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing, and incorporates active listening and reflective support to help clients make meaningful decisions. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials - clinical social work licenses in Hawaii and Massachusetts - and applies a flexible, strengths-based approach when collaborating with clients toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. It is practical and skills-oriented, helping people develop tools for coping and problem solving. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people explore their own motivations for change and strengthen commitment to recovery - it is especially useful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and stages of behavior change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity to distress and support emotional regulation across issues like stress, trauma responses, and mood fluctuation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Kayla works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She emphasizes a strengths-based stance and adjusts techniques as progress is made so the treatment fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support continuity of care across locations, and provide multiple channels for communication so clients can choose what feels most helpful for them.
