About Kayla
Kayla Ogletree is an LCSW licensed in New Jersey with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Kayla also works with issues such as guilt and shame, body image, caregiver stress, and forgiveness. She speaks English and practices in New Jersey.
Kayla frames clients as the experts in their own stories. She looks for strengths that can help people move through what feels stuck. In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep stress and shame active. Responses are practical and grounded rather than abstract.
Her approach uses client-centered methods to follow the client's priorities. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment choices.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when people are unsure or feel stuck. This can be useful for shifting motivation around relationships, parenting roles, or health-related behaviors. Sessions tend to focus on small steps that fit into daily life.
Kayla asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. International clients are not currently accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kayla often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so sessions concentrate on what matters most right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking.She also uses mindfulness methods to help people notice moment-to-moment reactions instead of acting on them automatically. These practices can be especially useful when dealing with persistent shame or anxiety because they build skills for stepping back from intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayla treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help clients decide what fits their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting course based on how helpful they feel.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the original biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or caregiving commitments are easier to balance.
