About Layla
Layla Hendricks is a licensed clinical social worker who guides people through hard emotional times. She draws on seven years of experience helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Layla focuses on building self-compassion and practical tools people can use day to day.
She spends time listening to what matters most and then sets simple, clear goals together with each person. Sessions often include straightforward strategies for coping, alongside conversations about values and meaning.
Background and approach
That mix helps people handle immediate symptoms and also think about long-term direction. Layla often helps people work through relationship and intimacy-related issues, family stress, and the strain of parenting. She also supports people facing substance use concerns, grief, and major life changes.
Her work includes attention to body image, attachment struggles, and career-related stress. Her ways of working draw on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and existential ideas about purpose and choice. Those approaches are used together in whatever combination fits each person best.
Layla practices in Pennsylvania and speaks English. She aims to make sessions approachable and practical, offering space to talk and specific steps to try between meetings.

Online support
How this therapist uses different approaches online
Existential Therapy looks at personal meaning and choice, helping people consider values, purpose, and how they want to live. It can be useful for clients facing grief, feelings of emptiness, or major life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting back what a person shares, creating space for them to find their own answers and build self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the issue at hand, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls for deeper conversations, phone sessions if bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, check in between appointments, and pick the format that feels most comfortable for everyday life.
