About Kysa
Kysa Baltimore is a licensed mental health counselor who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She uses straightforward conversation and focused strategies to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. Kysa brings six years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LMHC and LPC.
Her approach is client-centered, which means she listens first and tailors the work to each person’s goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck, and solution-focused techniques keep sessions goal-oriented and practical.
Kysa has worked with people facing grief, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, body image struggles, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain, work and career questions, and identity concerns including LGBT matters.
In sessions she helps people build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce self-criticism. The work includes short- and longer-term planning, practical exercises to use between sessions, and check-ins on progress.
Kysa practices in Florida and provides services in English. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on finding steps that fit each person’s daily life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy means the work starts with open listening and tailoring each session to the person’s needs. Online sessions can focus on building trust, identifying priorities, and shaping goals in ways that fit daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and test new behaviors. In remote sessions this often looks like reviewing recent situations, trying a small behavioral experiment between meetings, and bringing observations back to the next session to refine the plan.
Motivational interviewing supports people who are uncertain about change by exploring values and increasing motivation. Online conversations can be a space to weigh options, set small steps, and track what feels doable week to week.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals, comfort, and pace. That may mean combining listening-focused work with CBT tools or brief, solution-focused steps.
Confirm current session options with the provider before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into work, caregiving, or school routines. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or more flexible timing when that helps someone stay consistent with care.
