LCSW, 3 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi there! My name is Kaylyn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia. I graduated with my MSW from Radford University in Virginia, and have been practicing for over 3 years. I am passionate and committed to supporting others through their mental health & healing journey. I am truly honored to bear witness to the lives and experiences of the clients I work with. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for sharing and growth, and look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
In our first session, my main goal is for you to feel comfortable and welcome in this virtual space! We will start with introductions, and then discuss your current challenges and goals for therapy. You will leave our first session with a solid idea of where we're going from there.
I feel that my greatest strengths are my warmth and authenticity. I believe a strong connection is one of the most impactful elements of the therapeutic process, and I always strive to create a solid foundation for growth.
I enjoy working with young adults, and women of all ages. My clients often have a history of trauma or are struggling with depression, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. I use a DBT informed approach to help my clients manage intense emotions, and work toward positive change. I have experience applying DBT interventions with both adolescents and adults.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an incredible modality that is used to assist clients in processing and healing from traumatic experiences. My practice emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment, where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
I utilize a strengths-based approach with each of my clients, helping to promote positive self-image and personal growth. I believe in empowering individuals to work through challenges while highlighting existing skills to create change.

She is so nice!! I genuinely felt like I was just talking to a new friend and it didn’t really feel like “therapy” at all!

This has been the best intake session I’ve ever had. I’ve been in therapy for a decade, but for the first time in such a long time I felt hopeful again. I already feel well supported, empowered and overall solution focused. I cannot wait to continue my journey with Kaylyn, 10/10, 100%. If you want a warm, safe space book with her please! Your mental health will thank you!
