About Skyla

Skyla Hammond is an LMHC who blends client-centered care with practical, evidence-informed strategies to support people navigating ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of clinical experience and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward tangible goals. Her background includes work with individuals experiencing serious mental illness, which shaped a grounded approach to complex symptoms and long-term support.

Working from Hawaii and accepting international clients, she offers flexible session formats that accommodate different schedules and needs. Skyla emphasizes collaboration - helping clients name priorities, try out new strategies, and adjust plans as progress unfolds.

She also addresses related concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, sleep difficulties, parenting stress, career questions, compassion fatigue, and aging-related issues. Driven by a nonjudgmental stance, she aims to encourage growth and practical change while respecting each person’s values and pace.

Online approaches that meet you where you are



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective, creating space for people to explore values, strengths, and goals while the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach is useful for those seeking a collaborative, respectful environment to process change and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It provides concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative conversation. The therapist will work with each client to match methods to personal needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the best fit over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from different locations and at varied times. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue work on skills between meetings, supporting steady progress even when schedules or geography are challenging.
