Mykayla Smith is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California (CA LPCC 16844) with five years of clinical experience. She specializes in working with adolescents and teens, while her practice and training extend to clients of all ages.
She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the challenges that come with life changes. Mykayla also provides affirming care for LGBT clients and identifies as a female, gay, non-religious, liberal therapist.
Mykayla uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes tailoring treatment to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. She focuses on building a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore their goals and obstacles.
Her aim is to help lighten the weight of difficult transitions, strengthen coping skills, and guide clients toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Mykayla works with families and individuals who are ready to pursue meaningful change and increased well-being.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most situations.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of communication that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Each therapist offering online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists whenever they feel a different fit would be beneficial. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to get support for everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
