About Shayla

Shayla Pattillo is an LPC based in Texas who supports people coping with ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related issues.

Background and approach

She brings a strengths-oriented, compassionate presence to sessions and aims to help clients strengthen their inner voice, build confidence, and take practical steps toward meaningful change. Her focus also includes concerns such as self-esteem, addictions, eating issues, anger, career difficulties, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life transitions.

Her style emphasizes listening closely, asking thoughtful questions, and offering tools and information that clients can use between sessions. Shayla draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to tailor work to each person's needs.

With clinical experience in counseling and educational roles prior to holding the LPC, she frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors where someone is now while helping them move toward brighter days. Shayla welcomes people who are ready to explore possibilities for change and values the trust involved in sharing personal stories.

She invites prospective clients to reach out when they are prepared to begin taking steps forward.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Shayla frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness and Client-Centered influences inform her work as well, emphasizing present-moment awareness and a respectful, empathetic therapeutic stance.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Shayla works with each person to understand their priorities and preferences, and she adapts techniques from different modalities to fit the client's goals and life circumstances rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into daily life while maintaining a focus on skill building and meaningful progress.
