01About Kala
Kala Tamayo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood problems and life changes. She talks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure. Kala creates a calm setting where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Over eight years of practice in Mississippi have shaped her straightforward style. She uses client-centered work to follow each person's pace and preferences.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. Kala also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who want to find the drive to change habits or make decisions.
These approaches are used together to fit the situation rather than as a fixed formula. Sessions address a wide range of concerns including bipolar and depressive moods, panic and social anxiety, parenting stress, grief, relationship and communication problems, and issues around identity and self-worth. She also helps with abandonment, codependency, blended family challenges, and early adult transitions.
Her work is practical and conversational. Clients can expect clear focus on small, achievable steps and tools they can try between sessions. Kala encourages feedback so therapy stays useful and aligned with each person's goals.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kala commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered work means the conversation stays focused on what matters most to the person and moves at their comfort level. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle panic symptoms.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without reacting immediately. That can make strong emotions easier to handle and improve emotional regulation over time. Together these approaches give both a listening space and concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kala will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other's expressions for a fuller connection. Phone sessions or audio calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates, brief check-ins, or work through exercises between longer meetings.
