About Layla
Layla Hendricks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Layla also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, parenting strains, and career-related stress.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people name goals they can work toward between meetings. Layla uses straightforward tools drawn from several therapy styles to address mood, coping, and behavior.
She commonly uses client-centered methods to focus on clients' priorities and build stronger self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to pinpoint and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are introduced when slowing down and noticing the present moment helps reduce anxiety and reactivity.
Layla also brings existential ideas into conversations about meaning, choice, and values when clients face big life changes. Motivational Interviewing can be part of the work when someone wants support making changes around substance use, habits, or commitment to new routines. These approaches are used in plain language and practical exercises.
She works with people who identify as LGBT and with a wide range of other concerns, including ADHD, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency. Layla emphasizes steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step guide the first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Layla commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on what matters most to the client and to build clearer self-awareness. This approach lets the client set priorities while the therapist reflects and clarifies what emerges.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small, practical changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep returning. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and practice calmer responses to stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Layla treats approach selection as collaborative. She will talk with clients about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks at work. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can suit different practical needs. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions so clients can use tools between meetings.
