About Mikala
Mikala Moffitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She also attends to concerns around relationships, intimacy, addictions, eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, career stress, depression, and compassion fatigue.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward, person-centered way. Conversations begin with what feels most pressing. She listens for patterns from past relationships and life events that influence current feelings. Clients can expect practical steps as well as space to talk through painful memories and guilt or shame when those come up.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused and Narrative techniques. That means she will help a person notice unhelpful thoughts, try concrete behavior experiments, and reframe personal stories that keep them stuck. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding momentum for change.
Mikala emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set achievable goals and checks progress each session. Treatment may include short tools to manage anxiety, structured practice for changing thinking, and conversations about attachment and past hurt.
People can expect direct communication about the next steps during early sessions. She asks about practical barriers and preferences so therapy fits into daily life and responsibilities, including parenting and work demands.
Approaches you may use and how online work fits
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what the person brings to sessions. It focuses on understanding feelings and building a trusting working relationship to talk through painful experiences and current struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and guilt-related thinking.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what change matters to them and find internal reasons to move forward. This approach pairs well with goal-oriented tools when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions typically include checking what matters most and trying a few techniques to see what fits.
