About Kysa

Kysa Baltimore is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. She is credentialed as an LMHC and as an LPC and brings six years of clinical experience in Florida. Her style is straightforward and supportive, focusing on practical steps and honest conversation.

Kysa often helps clients when coping feels overwhelming or when patterns like low self-esteem, anger, or grief get in the way.

Background and approach

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox for people wrestling with change or substance concerns. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT concerns.

She addresses the ripple effects of trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and attachment struggles. Clients also bring worries about career direction, life purpose, and isolation. Kysa combines practical techniques with attentive listening.

Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and steady steps toward what matters most to each person. She explains strategies in plain language and checks in about what feels useful. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Kysa’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what is said, and helps people decide what changes matter most in their lives. This approach suits worries tied to identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks down problems into manageable pieces and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide exercises, check in on homework, and keep momentum toward practical change.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
