About
Hi, I’m Kayla Salomone, LISW-S. I’ve been a licensed social worker since 2019 and have worked across schools, residential treatment, and outpatient settings before specializing in OCD and anxiety treatment.
I now focus primarily on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) because it works.
I currently live in the Chicago suburbs with my husband, our twin boy and girl, and our dog, Harley Quinn. While I’m based in Illinois, I provide telehealth therapy to clients located in Ohio through my affiliated practice.
My Approach
My style is warm, direct, and structured. I believe anxiety shrinks when we stop organizing our lives around it. That means our work together won’t center around reassurance or endlessly analyzing thoughts. Instead, we’ll focus on building tolerance for uncertainty and practicing new responses in real time.
You can expect:
- Clear treatment goals
- Practical tools and strategies
- In-session exposure practice
- Homework between sessions
- Humor (because anxiety hates being laughed at)
Who I Work Best With
I work best with individuals who are willing to practice skills outside of session, feel ready to challenge avoidance, and want to build independence rather than rely on therapy long-term.
ERP can feel uncomfortable at times — but it is empowering. My goal is not to keep you in therapy forever. My goal is to help you feel confident managing anxiety on your own.
Licensure & Location
I provide telehealth therapy to clients located in Ohio through Insight Counseling and Wellness.
