About Keyla
Keyla Decos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma and self-esteem concerns, including social anxiety and phobia.
She uses straightforward, collaborative work with each person. Sessions are a place to talk through current struggles, learn skills to manage difficult moments, and reflect on patterns that keep problems repeating.
In practice she helps people notice how stress and anxiety show up in day-to-day life. She supports steps to reduce panic symptoms, manage mood swings, and process painful experiences from the past. When social situations feel overwhelming she helps clients identify manageable ways to approach them and rehearse new responses.
Keyla pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns. She often focuses on communication habits, caregiver stress, and issues around guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Those areas are connected to mood and anxiety for many people, and she works on practical changes that affect daily life.
Sessions may combine talk, skill-building, and problem-solving to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. She works with people to set clear goals and track progress over time. Spanish language support is available for those who prefer it.
Clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Keyla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and anxiety. Cognitive-style work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations; it helps with worry, panic attacks, and social anxiety by giving practical ways to respond differently. Trauma-focused methods involve carefully processing difficult memories and reducing their hold over daily life, which can reduce intrusive reactions and improve sleep and concentration.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. Clients and therapist discuss what feels most useful and change course if needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life settings between sessions. Ask about language options when you schedule to arrange sessions in English or Spanish.
