I have never done therapy and this was my first time giving BetterHelp a try. I was matched with Skyla Hammond and during our first session, I felt I was able to open up comfortably to her and not feel any judgement. It was a safe space that she provides and offers during your 1 on 1 with her and she has a welcoming presence that allows you to express yourself freely and openly. I never had thought I would had try out therapy and I’m really glad I was able to match with someone like her. Skyla is really nice, very welcoming, and wants to be there for you in any way possible.

More about Skyla
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Hawaii with a fairly young practice. I attended school late in life, and understand life's developmental issues. I am a conservative Christian, and look forward to helping anyone who is seeking help. I am not judgmental, and can work with any population. Most of my work over the past 5 years has been with people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). I believe this has given me a strong base to work with clients from all walks of life, facing all kinds of issues. I use a variety of techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, relaxation and breathing techniques, among others. I believe that people know themselves better than anyone, and often know what they need to do, and just need some support and encouragement to move forward in life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
