"Welcome to ClearView Counseling and Wellness, LLC: Embracing Clarity, Elevating Wellness"
Hey there, courageous soul! I'm so thrilled to have you here. I'm Kyla, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a heart for helping individuals just like you navigate life's twists and turns. Whether you're feeling stuck in the grip of anxiety or overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, I'm here to offer you a safe harbor and a listening ear.​
Trained and specializing in Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) for OCD, anxiety disorders, phobias, PTSD, and other related conditions, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of facing your fears head-on and reclaiming control over your life. But more than just a therapist, I'm a companion on your journey—a cheerleader, a confidante, and a source of unwavering support.
As a firm believer in the power of human connection, I've made it my mission to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. My practice spans across several states, including Illinois, Iowa, and Arizona, because I believe that quality mental health care should be accessible to everyone, no matter where you are.
In my practice, diversity isn't just a buzzword—it's a guiding principle. I celebrate the unique backgrounds, experiences, and intersecting identities that make each of us who we are. Because I believe that true healing can only happen when we honor the full spectrum of human existence.
My approach to therapy is holistic and integrative, blending evidence-based techniques with a sprinkle of compassion and a dash of humor. Because healing isn't a one-size-fits-all solution—it's a beautifully messy, wonderfully imperfect journey that we'll embark on together.
So, whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, craving a clearer view of your inner landscape, or simply looking for someone to walk alongside you, I'm here to help. Let's embark on this adventure together and discover the brighter, lighter, more joyful version of yourself that's waiting just around the corner.
Thanks for stopping by. I can't wait to meet you and start this incredible journey together.
Warmest hugs,​
Kyla O'Neal, MA, LCPC, NCC​
