About Kysa
Kysa Baltimore is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, self-esteem, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Kysa lists family and parenting among her practice areas and also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, career stress, and LGBT-related issues. She conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients at this time.
Kysa uses mostly straightforward, client-centered work in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people set clear, short-term goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses in everyday life. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods appear when a client wants practical steps and quick momentum toward change.
In practice she talks through coping strategies for life changes, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She helps people examine patterns like codependency, control issues, or isolation and figure out small, concrete shifts. Practical skills such as emotion regulation, problem-solving, and planning come up often in session.
Kysa has experience supporting people who face abandonment, adoption or foster care histories, attachment questions, body image concerns, and issues around infidelity or divorce and separation. She weaves goal-oriented tools with reflective listening to help clients make decisions and try new ways of handling conflict and parenting strain.
Sessions are aimed at measurable steps and clearer daily routines. Clients are invited to assess progress and adjust focus as needed. To begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps the client set priorities, and supports the client's own decisions. This approach is often used when someone needs to feel heard and make clear choices about parenting, identity, or relationship boundaries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. It is practical and skill-focused, used for anxiety, depression, stress, and certain behavior patterns like impulsivity or avoidance. CBT work often includes small experiments and homework between sessions to practice new ways of responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps clarify whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT skills, or motivational interviewing for steps toward change.
