Kryse Skye, LCSW

Kryse Skye is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of clinical experience based in Maine. She has built her practice on a foundation of work in a mental health agency and a hospital outpatient program, with the majority of her career spent in private practice. Over the years she has worked with a wide age range, from children as young as two to older adults in their nineties, supporting individuals, couples, teens, and families through a variety of life challenges.

Trauma is a central focus of her work. As a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, she brings specialized training in body-focused approaches to healing trauma, attending to how the nervous system and bodily sensations relate to emotional experience. Her practice also addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, parenting and caregiving stress, self-esteem, depression, sleep and eating issues, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Licensed Clinical Social Worker is a clinical license that qualifies her to provide psychotherapy and support people through complex emotional and interpersonal issues.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys time with family and animals, cooking, reading, coloring, music, and water activities, especially paddle boarding. She also treasures moments with her 9 month old granddaughter. These personal interests inform a warm, grounded approach to therapy and to supporting people through healing and change.

Somatic and Trauma-Focused Care Delivered Online

Kryse brings somatic and trauma-focused approaches to online therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. Somatic Therapy emphasizes how physical sensations and the nervous system relate to emotional experience; it uses breathing, attention to bodily cues, and gentle regulation strategies to help people feel more grounded and present, and can be helpful for those coping with trauma responses, chronic stress, or persistent anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and integrate difficult experiences while building safety and coping skills; it supports individuals dealing with the effects of past abuse, attachment wounds, or overwhelming life events. Mindfulness Therapy complements these approaches by cultivating present-moment awareness and practical tools for navigating intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kryse works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, then tailors techniques and pacing so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or caregiving responsibilities. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility in how and when clients engage with therapy. Licensed professionals can adapt sessions to each format, making it possible to receive consistent therapeutic support from home or wherever is most convenient.
