01About Layla
Layla Hernandez is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Colorado. She brings ten years of experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Layla aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel overwhelmed.
She uses everyday language in sessions and focuses on clear skills people can use between meetings. Layla draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people manage intense feelings and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses approaches that focus on emotions and building workable values-based goals. Layla has worked in both military and civilian settings and has experience responding to mental health crises. That background shaped her interest in helping people cope with compassion fatigue, first responder issues, and challenges related to veteran and armed forces experiences.
She also supports people facing identity concerns including LGBT and gender dysphoria issues. In sessions she listens first and then helps set small, achievable steps. She works with people coping with life transitions, parenting stresses, communication problems, and family of origin wounds.
Clients often leave with concrete tools for managing anxiety, anger, mood shifts, and isolation. Layla holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling and carries the credential Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, in Washington as well as Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Colorado. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients for online work.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Layla commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, clarify their values, and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with practical strategies and experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Layla will talk with the client about what matters most, try out strategies together, and adjust methods based on how someone responds. The goal is to find approaches that fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quicker check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy or irregular routines.
