TeleKyla · Telehealth only
Online therapist in Texas
Counseling for children, teens, and adults in Dallas, Austin, and across Texas—with support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Meet with me by secure video from a private space, without traveling to an office.
Meet your counselor
I’m Kyla C. Kaufman, MEd, LPC, NCC, EMDR Trained. I’m licensed in Texas (LPC #100972) and Oklahoma (LPC #11651). My background includes 22 years in Oklahoma public education, and I work with children, teens, and adults.
You do not need to know which therapy approach you want before reaching out. We can talk about what brings you in, what you want to change, and whether working together feels like a fit.
Read about my background and credentialsWhat online counseling can focus on
Anxiety, low mood, and stress
CBT helps us explore how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. We can work on worry, panic, self-worth, or overwhelm, with practical coping skills to try between sessions.
Trauma and difficult experiences
EMDR and EMDR 2.0 are among the approaches I offer. We begin with preparation and coping skills, then discuss whether processing past experiences fits your needs and readiness.
Explore online EMDR in TexasGrief, change, and inner conflict
Counseling can make room for grief, life transitions, and conflicting feelings. IFS-informed parts work offers a curious way to explore protective responses alongside other approaches.
Individual, family, and couples sessions are offered. See counseling services or read about my approach.
Online therapy in Dallas—and across Texas
If you’re looking for a Dallas therapist but prefer video appointments, TeleKyla offers online counseling rather than an in-person Dallas office. The same online service is available in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and elsewhere in Texas. You must be physically in Texas or Oklahoma during each session.
I also offer online counseling in Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City. If you move or travel between Oklahoma and Texas, discuss your session location with me before your appointment. My licenses do not cover sessions while you are in another state.
Preparing for a video session
Sessions use SimplePractice. Choose a private place with a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. For clients under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be available in the home during the session.
Texas insurance and counseling costs
Texas insurance coverage depends on your plan. The Rates & Insurance page lists plans accepted directly, plans billed through Headway, and plans still in credentialing—those categories are not interchangeable.
For commercial-insurance booking, use the Headway link on Contact after reviewing your plan. For private pay, limited sliding-scale slots, or questions about coverage, contact me to discuss your options. Out-of-network clients can request monthly superbills for potential PPO reimbursement; reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Most Oklahoma insurance and SoonerCare accepted. Oklahoma clients with SoonerCare or SoonerSelect should book through my SimplePractice client portal.
