Kryse Skye, LCSW

Kryse Skye is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other midlife transitions. Her manner is straightforward and calm, aimed at making difficult topics easier to talk about.

She draws on a range of approaches to match each person's needs. Kryse uses mindfulness techniques to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce anxiety. She incorporates somatic work to help people notice and work with how stress and trauma show up in the body. Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and build practical steps forward.

Much of her background comes from work in a mental health agency and an outpatient hospital program, followed by many years in private practice. She has worked with people across the lifespan and has experience addressing complex issues such as trauma and caregiving stress.

Kryse holds LCSW licensure in Maine and New Jersey. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps create a plan that fits daily life. Sessions emphasize clear goals, concrete strategies, and regular check-ins to track progress.

Outside of work she enjoys time with family, cooking, reading, music, and paddle boarding. She also values time with her granddaughter and the calm that water activities bring.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Hypnotherapy can use guided imagery and focused attention to help reduce anxiety and reshape unhelpful patterns; it often supports issues like sleep problems, habit change, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety in daily life. Somatic Therapy attends to bodily signals and gentle movement or grounding practices to help people process stress and trauma that show up physically.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow check-ins during a work break, or reduce travel time. They also let people continue care during life changes, while the therapist helps tailor exercises and practices so they work in everyday settings.
