How her approaches work online
Skyla often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and building a plan that fits the client's values and priorities. It helps when someone needs support sorting out feelings and choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger because it breaks big problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Skyla will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. She encourages collaboration so people can pick techniques that feel useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, goal tracking, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and distance.
