Background and approach
She also shares tools and information that people can use right away.

Shayla trained and has professional experience in counseling and education roles over several years and holds an LPC credential in Texas. She draws on that background when helping clients with mood concerns, trauma, body image, and parenting transitions. Her style is warm and direct.
She aims to help people find more confidence, clearer choices, and small changes that add up. If someone wants practical strategies and chances to reflect, Shayla offers steady guidance and a plan to move forward.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Shayla commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in-session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and reactions, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and making small committed steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them.She also draws on Client-Centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to create space for reflection and steady breathing or attention practices. Together these approaches are explored collaboratively so the client and therapist decide what fits best for the situation and goals rather than following a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual materials, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it more convenient to work around work, childcare, or travel while still accessing licensed professionals and a consistent plan for progress.
