About Skyla
LMHC (Hawaii Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with five years of clinical experience, Skyla Hammond focuses on trauma, mood disorders, stress, and relationship and parenting concerns. She practices from Hawaii and offers therapy in English. Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness work.
Skyla frames sessions around what each person already knows about themselves. She listens first, then helps people try small, concrete changes. Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, relaxation and breathing exercises, and solution-focused tools. Those techniques are used to address anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, anger, grief, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
Skyla’s background includes extended work with people who have serious mental illness. That experience informs her pace and the kinds of supports she suggests. She also notes prior certification history in trauma, anger management, and dementia care, which contributed to her clinical toolkit though those certifications are not current.
In session she emphasizes practical coaching when clients want decision support for career or parenting challenges. She also helps people navigate intimacy issues, self-esteem, ADHD-related coping, and aging or geriatric concerns. Her style is straightforward and focused on clear steps clients can try between visits.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Skyla uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means conversations are guided by the person’s priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients name what matters right now. That approach helps when people need space to sort through values, parenting choices, or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, anger, and many everyday problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to calm stress and reduce reactivity; this can help with sleep, stress, and compassion fatigue.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match goals, current challenges, and preferences. That selection can change over time as needs shift.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people use breathing or relaxation practices in their everyday settings while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
