About Kayla
Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with five years of clinical experience. Kayla Christie works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family concerns, and major life changes. She offers straightforward, person-focused care and avoids stigmatizing labels.
Christie sees a broad range of problems, including attachment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, substance concerns, and the effects of domestic violence. She also works with people exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual cultures, and with those navigating divorce, separation, or disruptive mood challenges such as DMDD.
Her stated approach is eclectic and evidence-informed. The biography lists methods such as eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing, cognitive behavioral techniques, humanistic principles, Internal Family and Systems Treatment (I-FAST), and motivational interviewing. In sessions she focuses on practical steps, coping strategies, and processing difficult memories.
Kayla favors a respectful and affirming manner in sessions and aims to avoid labels that might feel stigmatizing. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying helpful skills, and deciding together on next steps. She frames therapy as collaborative work rather than a one-way prescription.
She practices in Ohio as an LISW and conducts work in English. She does not take international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site process.

How Kayla’s approaches translate to online work
Kayla’s stated methods include eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive behavioral techniques. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories using structured sets of guided attention and can help reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses.She also uses humanistic principles and motivational interviewing to support a client's own goals and readiness for change. Together these approaches allow flexibility: some people focus on memory processing, others on learning coping skills, and many combine both. Kayla typically treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, listen to a client's preferences and goals, and recommend steps to try in the first few sessions rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also reduce bandwidth demands or avoid being on camera for part of the session. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like EMDR and cognitive behavioral exercises so people can continue progress without changing their daily routines.
