Teletherapy for Boston, MA

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of ADHD/ADD, navigating complex family dynamics, or struggling to maintain healthy relationships?

My ideal client is an adult who is facing challenges associated with depression, anxiety, life changes, and life stages. My client seeks to find joy in life and expand tools to meet the day's challenges. Another ideal client would be the neuroatypical person seeking to understand how to navigate a world they struggle to understand. This could include those on the autism spectrum or ADHD. Another ideal client would be seniors seeking to navigate the challenges of aging, including loss of jobs through retirement, changing health, or any other issue.

If you are looking for a warm, welcoming place to discuss any issue, thought, or problem you've been dealing with without judgment or closed-mindedness, then I could be a great fit for you! I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and I'm licensed as a mental health counselor in Massachusetts. I have a very friendly, laid-back personality and am always eager to help and use a lot of humor in my general approach; however, I am also very comfortable working through serious and difficult subjects in a calm, supportive way. I'm a very happy, positive person and can always find a silver lining in almost any situation!

I am Karla Davila, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), with a focus on empowering adults navigating the complexities of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and chronic illnesses. At the heart of my practice lies the belief in harnessing the inherent strengths of my clients. My method isn't just about addressing challenges—it's about recognizing and building on the unique capabilities and resources each client brings to the table.

I understand that you are interested in improving your self-esteem, self-confidence, and interpersonal skills. Our work together aims to help you manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and substance abuse while also improving your relationship with life's uncertainties, constant worries, or pain. We will explore ways to manage stress and evaluate the meaning of your existence while developing helpful mindsets. Everyone has the potential to be curious and discover the meaning behind their thoughts, feelings, and relationships to achieve authenticity and self-actualization.

I believe that the core of successful psychotherapy lies in creating a safe place for you to talk about things that are truly important in your life. I am currently an online psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I draw from various evidence-based approaches to provide personalized therapy that meets your unique needs.

A safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment can provide comfort and peace when sharing and self-reflecting on your life journey. I provide various resources to help clients build up their self-care and coping skills outside of sessions so the work we do together is reflectant in your everyday life. We will work together to learn to recognize a personal perception of an external situation and how it impacts emotions, body sensations, and behaviors, cope with negative feelings, build positive communication skills, and reduce feelings of anxiety so you can live life as your most fulfilled self.

The therapy session is a time and space one sets aside to focus on self. To be with self. And to build one’s self. It can be challenging to reflect on patterns, thoughts and emotions, relationships, past events and/or change, but it can also be transformative and rewarding. My role as your therapist is to witness your process and to reflect back with you along the way. The therapeutic relationship is an essential piece of my practice and is built on honesty, trust, empathy, and compassion.

I support my clients to heal and grow. People evolve at their own pace. Therapy supports individual needs.

My practice is built on evidence based, trauma informed, positive psychology, mindfullness, ecotherapy and emotional intelligence. I and here to provide a therapeutic atmosphere for you.

All clients are welcome in this space. Are you willing to work through it? Where’s the obstacle? Are you ready to open yourself and accept who you are or Who you could become? This world has been challenging and inflexible. Interest, transparency and commitment are the key to start working together. My experience working with different cultures, social background and reality reinforce us to understand different issues from different perspective. In this space you will be validated.

I know that I was put on this earth to support, and help others in their healing journey in regard to unprocessed trauma, and learning healthy life and coping skills. I will support you in how to apply these in your day to day life and/or process and heal from any unprocessed trauma. We often hold a lot of unprocessed trauma in our bodies without realizing how much of an impact it has in our interaction with our environments, and relationships. I am here to support you in improving your own self-awareness of yourself, and checking in with your mind, body, and emotions.
