About Kayla

Kayla Luu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience who practices in Florida.

Background and approach

She completed her Master of Social Work at Florida State University and has worked across community mental health, school settings, and adult centers, as well as in foster-care transition and residential programs earlier in her career. Kayla brings a practical understanding of complex family dynamics and developmental challenges shaped by that range of settings.

Her work emphasizes empathy, openness, and a collaborative stance, adapting therapeutic methods to fit each person’s needs and goals. Kayla integrates evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational strategies.

She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma, depression, ADHD, and related areas like attachment, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Fluent in English and Vietnamese, Kayla balances a warm, validating presence with practical tools to help clients move forward.

Outside of work she enjoys family time, reading, outdoor activities, and painting, and she aims to create a welcoming space where clients feel heard and empowered to pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where holding onto control can be exhausting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist supports clients' own problem-solving and personal growth at their pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the presenting concerns to decide together which methods to prioritize, and adjustments are made as work progresses to ensure the plan remains relevant to the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible around work, family, and location. These formats allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient settings, schedule sessions more easily, and use a mix of real-time and text-based contact to support progress between meetings.
