McKayla Phillips

McKayla Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and depression. She works with individuals who are struggling with attachment wounds and related challenges. Her approach aims to create a straightforward path toward feeling more grounded and able to cope with hard moments.

She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical skills. Sessions focus on improving emotional regulation, shifting unhelpful thinking, and building day-to-day routines that support recovery and resilience.

McKayla also addresses concerns like abandonment, codependency, body image, dissociation, and problems that arise during divorce or separation. She pays attention to how attachment patterns shape relationships and reactions to stress. That helps clients understand recurring patterns and make different choices.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and small, achievable steps. Clients set goals and practice concrete tools between sessions. This pace helps people notice change without feeling overwhelmed.

McKayla practices in Utah and brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How specific approaches are used in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making choices that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and managing cravings in addiction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current relationships, helping people understand why they react in certain ways and try new interaction patterns.

Picking the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift and skills develop.

The biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions helpful for practicing skills in daily contexts and keeping therapy consistent during life changes.
