Hello! My name is Kayla Sease. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina. I received my BSW at UNC-Pembroke in 2014 and my MSW in 2015 from the same university. I have 6 years of experience in composing the minds of individuals of all ages. I have experience working in various Social Work settings. However, I believe that my purpose is working with adolescents and young adults. My job is to help people talk about things that might be on their minds, whether it's school, friendships, family, or life in general. Sometimes, it can be hard to know how to deal with everything that's going on, and that's where I come in. I'm here to listen without judgment and help you to figure out ways to cope or make sense of things. You can talk to me about anything you're comfortable with, and together we can work on finding solutions or just help you feel better overall. My goal is to guide you to mental clarity and to empower you to take control of your mental health and wellness to create a fulfilling life.
During our first session we will get to know each other and will establish a foundation for our safe space. As your therapist I will ask questions to gather your background information, and will learn your therapy expectations. Our space is judgement free, trustworthy, and relaxed! We will use this time to get to know each other and to determine the best way that I can assist you.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to affirm my clients and help them to identify the potential and strengths that is within them. A few more strengths that I have includes ensuring that my clients feel seen, heard, and validated during therapy sessions. I have a positive way of ensuring that my clients feel comfortable during their therapy sessions with me.
I use this treatment method to empower clients struggling with anxiety to acknowledge their unhelpful thoughts and emotions and how to not become entangled in these thoughts and emotions. I educate clients on the different ACT strategies that will help them to do this effectively. My goal is to guide my clients on effective ways to reach mental clarity, organize, and harmonize their unhelpful thinking patterns.
I am a Christian therapist that believes that therapy and Christ goes together. I am interested in educating clients about different prayer strategies that they can use as a coping skill to improve their mental health. I am also open to using faith based principles to improve unhelpful thought patterns if my client is open to this or requests this type of intervention.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy can help clients to develop a greater sense of awareness and inner peace. I provide guidance and support to help my clients learn mindfulness techniques, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve their overall well-being.
I help my clients to identify their strengths during sessions to empower them to use their strengths and positive resources to reach their desired goals, improve certain situations in their lives, and overall mental health.
