About Me
Hello! My name is Skylar and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a passion for helping others and would love to help you too! I am a Lubbock native and Texas Tech alumni. When I’m not in therapy sessions, I enjoy playing tennis, working on house projects, and spending time with friends and family. I am married and we have 3 dogs and 1 cat that I love like children. But enough about me, I would love to get to know more about YOU! Please contact me for more information and a free phone consultation. (806) 340-0446
Treatment Approach
I practice from the viewpoint that everyone is unique and I tailor my approach to best meet your personal needs. I use an integrated theory base, pulling from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
About Me
My role as a counselor is to guide you through difficult situations and explore unsettling emotions. I do this through providing an unbiased and non-judgmental perspective while offering support and encouragement in working through issues collaboratively. We will identify and work towards implementing coping skills and promote healthy management and expression of emotions in your daily life to help you find happiness and inspire positive self-worth.
My intention is to foster an open and laid back environment so that you have a safe and comfortable place to come and share your thoughts, feelings, and difficult situations while celebrating successes and focusing on strengths to promote growth and progress towards achievement of your life goals.
Since 2013, I have had the awesome opportunity to work with unique individuals like you to empower them to reach their full potential. I specialize in working with teens and young adults who are seeking to improve themselves or a situation they are struggling with. I have had experience with a variety of issues across the continuum of life experiences through working at several community agencies in Lubbock as well as practicing independently at The LifeVesting Group and now currently through my own private practice Strait Counseling LLC.
If you would like a helping hand in your journey down the sidewalk of life, or have further questions about how I could possibly help guide you through that process, please contact me at (806) 340-0446 or send me an email through the link shown or on the contact page. I look forward to exploring this opportunity with you!
