About Kayla

Kayla Fruetel is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so parents and busy adults can use what they learn right away. Kayla honors each person's story and looks for strengths to build from rather than starting from what is "wrong."

Over eight years of clinical work have given her experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

She also helps clients facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Kayla pays attention to challenges common in young adulthood and to feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and loneliness. Her style blends listening and collaboration with hands-on skills.

She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories, client-centered work to follow what matters to each person, and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and DBT skills often appear when managing strong emotions and building coping strategies. Kayla holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices from Florida.

Sessions are offered in English. She approaches care with respect and straightforward guidance so people can try small steps and notice real change. To begin, she suggests a simple first step of completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits your life.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based therapy work online

Kayla combines Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems in their lives so they can notice different parts of their story and try new ways of acting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist following what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing specific skills to change them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kayla will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that match your goals and preferences. If something doesn’t fit, she will adjust the plan together with you so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow short updates, homework exchanges, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats aim to make it easier to meet consistently and try practical steps in the context of your routine.
