About Skyla

Skyla Hammond is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Hawaii who brings five years of counseling experience to her practice. She draws on straightforward, person-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, and parenting concerns. Skyla aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through immediate problems and practical next steps.

Skyla's approach is rooted in listening first. She helps clients identify what matters to them and then works with them to set small, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions often include simple tools such as breathing or relaxation exercises, thought‑work to shift unhelpful patterns, and practical planning for daily life. She uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused strategies among other approaches. Her background includes several years supporting people with serious mental illness, which she says shaped her ability to work with a wide range of concerns.

That experience informs how she stays grounded and focused on what will help someone in the next week or month. Skyla also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues when they arise. Skyla offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

She provides a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. People who want straightforward, encouraging support for life changes, parenting stress, or mood concerns may find her style practical and direct. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress.

Conversations are paced to each person’s needs, and she helps clients track small wins and adjust plans as life shifts.

Online support

Approaches that fit into busy lives and online care

Skyla commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client find their own answers; it helps people clarify values and make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Skyla will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation while phone calls need less bandwidth and can work during a quick break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules, travel, or time differences.
