About McKayla
McKayla Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and depression. She writes plainly and listens carefully so people can talk about what matters most and take small steps forward.
She draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical skills like recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns and building coping tools. She also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that shape how people connect with others.
In sessions the pace is collaborative. McKayla uses structured exercises from cognitive behavioral work alongside mindful awareness and acceptance strategies. She also brings techniques from dialectical behavior approaches when emotions feel intense and regulation skills are needed.
Her experience includes supporting people after trauma and through addiction and life transitions. McKayla emphasizes clear goals and simple skills clients can use between meetings. She practices in Utah and speaks English.
She describes therapy as a process of discovery rather than a one-size-fits-all fix. New clients begin by sharing current concerns and priorities so sessions can focus on what matters now. For those seeking depression support, she offers an approach that combines practical behavior strategies with attention to emotions and relationships.
