Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Norman, OK

Credentials and Experience

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and Colorado, a board-certified counselor (NCC), and hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision - which means I don't just practice therapy, I train and supervise other therapists. That clinical depth shapes everything about how I work with clients.

My specialization is neurocounseling: integrating what we know about the brain and nervous system into practical, grounded therapy. I also hold specialized training in telehealth - so working with you virtually isn't a workaround, it's where I do my best work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for too long.

You may be the person everyone turns to, the one who keeps going no matter what, but inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you find yourself overthinking, questioning your choices, repeating the same relationship patterns, or wondering why certain emotions keep resurfacing. I work with adults who are ready to slow down, understand themselves more deeply, and create a life that feels more balanced and authentic. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University and have a strong psychodynamic foundation that guides my work. I support clients navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, life transitions, and the lasting impact of past experiences. My goal is to offer a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported as we make sense of your story together.

I have been a licensed therapist and have worked in the field for the last 5yrs.I am passionate about creating space for individual to experience healing.I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Health therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I am a very open-minded therapist. I have worked with a large range of different people in different settings. I have worked with kiddos from age 4 to adults aged 70+ and have found what works best for each individual I work with. I studied my undergrad at Cleveland State University and got my masters at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. After, I worked school-base, home-based, as well as within the workers comp world so have worked with a little of everything!

I help young adults, adults, and athletes work through anxiety, depression, grief and loss, burnout, attachment and relationship challenges, and confidence or performance struggles so they can feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change.

I love working with clients to help make improvements in their lives. I hold a safe space for clients to talk about difficult issues. The turnaround for clients from the first day to completion of therapy is inspiring.

Great to meet you! My name is Kayla Loving, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy for adults.

I specialize in working with adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected on the inside. I primarily work with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, life transitions, boundaries, and difficulty prioritizing your own needs.

My approach is collaborative, relaxed, and individualized. I’m naturally introverted and reserved, and one of my strengths is being a genuine listener. I believe you know yourself better than anyone, so I don’t believe therapy should be about me telling you what to do. Instead, we’ll work together to understand what you’re experiencing, explore what you need, and find realistic strategies that fit your life.

In our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, talk about what brought you to therapy, and explore your goals. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We’ll take things at a comfortable pace and build from there.

My style is laid-back but professional. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale, be yourself, and talk openly without judgment. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, set healthy boundaries, protect their energy, and make space for their own needs.

Outside of therapy, I love traveling, trying great food, spending time with my fur babies, reading, dancing, and watching comfort movies and shows.

If you’re looking for a therapist with a soft, understanding presence who will truly listen and meet you where you are, I’d be honored to work with you.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working as counselor in group settings as well as various ages from kids to adults.
