Kayla Stoltmann , LCSW

Kayla Stoltmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with nine years of experience working in mental health and social services. She began her career in child protective services (CPS), gaining extensive experience supporting families through complex and often high-stress situations. That background informs her clinical work with adults and parents who are navigating depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and personality disorder presentations.

Her training emphasizes trauma-informed care, and she draws on that foundation to help clients and families improve communication, repair relationships, and strengthen parenting interactions. Kayla’s therapeutic stance is warm, inviting, and understanding, creating space for people to explore difficult emotions and make practical changes. She commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - with Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and the client’s own goals.

Kayla works with a wide range of concerns related to mood, stress, trauma, and family dynamics, guiding clients toward clearer coping strategies and more effective patterns of relating. Her practice focuses on collaboration and practical supports tailored to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kayla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or stress. She also relies on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and supports clients in defining their own goals and discovering solutions that fit their values. In addition, Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a way to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kayla collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors her methods so therapy aligns with what will be most helpful for that individual or family.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by letting people connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support from a licensed professional in ways that suit different comfort levels and needs.
