Kayla Stoltmann , LCSW

Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 9 years of clinical experience. The LCSW credential indicates a licensed clinical social work professional trained to assess and treat mental health concerns through therapy and clinical intervention.

Prior to obtaining her license, she spent many years working in social services within child protective services (CPS), gaining hands-on experience with family systems and safety-focused interventions. Over the course of her career she has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and personality disorders. A significant part of her practice has focused on supporting adults and parents to improve interactions and relationships with their children and other family members.

Her academic and clinical training emphasized Trauma Informed Care, which informs her work with individuals and families affected by past or ongoing trauma. Kayla’s therapeutic stance is described as warm, inviting, and understanding, and she commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy to support clients in building coping skills, improving communication, and creating meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kayla integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic environment where a person’s own goals and insights guide the work, which can help with relationship concerns and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and skills-based, helping people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other challenges and then build alternative coping strategies. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, trauma symptoms, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kayla collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative evaluation helps shape a tailored plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy with Kayla is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from home, balance therapy with other responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
