About Shaye

Shaye Skye is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Tennessee with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, sort through relationship and family challenges, and rebuild confidence. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making the first step feel less daunting for a worried parent or partner.

Shaye creates a space where clients can speak openly about what they are feeling and thinking.

Background and approach

She aims to reduce shame and blame, and to help people see practical next steps. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each persons comfort level. Her clinical work draws on methods that include attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness strategies.

These tools are used together to address problems like panic attacks, codependency, body image struggles, and family of origin issues. EMDR is also part of her approach for clients who have trauma and abuse histories. Shaye often focuses on clearer communication and healthier boundaries when family patterns are causing stress.

She also supports people facing life changes and career questions, helping them reconnect with values and purpose. The work tends to be practical and grounded in everyday life. People meet her expecting respect and patience.

She encourages questions and adapts the pace as needed. If someone wants help making changes in relationships or in how they feel about themselves, Shaye offers focused, steady support.

Therapeutic approaches and what online care looks like

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more stable connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions are made together and can change as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep continuity during life transitions. Remote care also allows consistent follow-up and use of skills between sessions, giving practical support when it is most needed.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
