Kayla Mulholland is a licensed clinical social worker in California (CA LCSW 114402) who focuses on supporting refugee and immigrant communities, systems-involved parents and youth, and foster families. Her clinical background includes work with foster youth and their parents in California, services for women and children in Mexico, and assistance to recently arrived immigrant families.
Having lived in Spain and Mexico, Kayla learned Spanish and collaborated closely with asylum-seeking communities and Latino migrant day laborers in San Francisco. These experiences inform her commitment to social justice and her awareness of the broader systems that shape mental health.
She specializes in trauma-informed, mindfulness-based approaches tailored to immigrant and refugee populations and brings a compassionate emphasis on resilience and personal growth. Kayla helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Kayla believes each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can support overcoming difficult challenges. She works collaboratively with clients to identify and pursue their goals, and she is dedicated to reducing stigma around seeking care, particularly for vulnerable groups.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is convenience and flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels best for them, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and individuals may choose to switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. Online therapy can provide a practical option for accessing licensed care while maintaining the same range of therapeutic approaches available in person.
