Kayla Luu

Kayla Luu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who practices in Florida. She has nine years of experience and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to counseling. Kayla speaks English and Vietnamese and balances clinical work with life as a wife and mother of four.

Before graduate school she worked with children, adolescents, and families in foster-care transition and residential settings. She earned a Master of Social Work from Florida State University in 2016 and has worked in community mental health, the education system, and adult services. Those roles shaped her understanding of everyday struggles and how systems affect people’s lives.

Sessions focus on real problems parents and professionals face, such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and career concerns. She also addresses issues like trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Kayla uses practical tools to help people manage feelings and make steady progress toward clear goals.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens closely, helps people sort priorities, and offers strategies that fit daily life. Therapy can include skills from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, acceptance-based ideas, and motivational techniques, shaped to each person’s needs.

People can expect a collaborative process that respects their pace. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling come next after selecting Start Therapy. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and finding clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy emphasizes spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathy and active listening, giving people space to be heard while they work toward their own goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy fits between other commitments. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in real life between meetings while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
