01 · Who Kylie works with

Kylie works with stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and family conflicts

02 · In Kylie's own words

What Kylie says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has over 8 years of clinical experience providing counseling to children, adults, families, and couples. I use a systemic approach to therapy and take all the working systems involved in a client’s life into consideration when conducting therapy sessions. Everyone is impacted by the different moving pieces of their life daily, and I believe that it is crucial to learn how systems such as friendships/relationships, work, school etc. impact our behaviors and mental health. This style of therapy is very solution-focused, and clients will be given tools to use in everyday life to change their thought process and learn to better manage their emotions to create the positive change that they want to see.

I am also a certified PREPARE/Enrich assessment facilitator for couples that are seeking the opportunity to use a relationship skill-building process to shape and customize their sessions. With this approach, I can help teach couples to maintain and maximize the strengths in their relationship while also working to improve their areas of growth. By focusing more on highlighting the strengths in a relationship, couples can spend less time focusing on their areas of “weakness” and will learn valuable communication skills to facilitate growth and focus on the positive.

I pride myself on collaborating with the individuals that I work with to provide the best possible outcomes once sessions are completed. What works for one client may not work for another. It is important that each person I work with feel heard and validated and that they are receiving the support they need to be successful.

I look forward to working with you!

03 · How Kylie works

The 5 approaches Kylie lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Kylie lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Kylie's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Kylie runs a session.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Reads present-day relationship difficulty through the lens of how safety and closeness were learned early on. The therapeutic relationship itself is treated as part of the work, because it is where the pattern tends to show up first.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Emotionally Focused TherapyEFT

Built for couples and rooted in attachment: the recurring argument is treated as a cycle two people are stuck in rather than as one person's fault. Sessions work to interrupt the cycle and get to what each person is actually asking for underneath it.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Kylie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kylie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kylie at this point.

2. Naming Kylie specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kylie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kylie.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Kylie

Built from what Kylie actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Kylie's - Kylie has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Kylie's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Kylie. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
