Practical, relationship-focused therapy

About Shaye

Shaye Skye is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Tennessee. She brings eight years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, family conflict, and career concerns.

Background and approach

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what feels hard. Sessions are paced to fit each person.

Conversation, listening, and practical steps are central to her work. Shaye uses a mix of approaches that match what each client needs.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxious thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness to help people ground themselves and EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

When someone is struggling with self-esteem, body image, codependency, or shame, she helps them notice harmful patterns and try new ways of relating. For people facing panic attacks or life transitions, she focuses on skills that reduce immediate distress and build long-term coping.

Therapy with Shaye is collaborative. She checks in about goals and adjusts plans as people progress.

Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people find clearer thinking and more balanced emotional responses. Clients who choose video, phone, chat, or text options can work in ways that fit their schedules.

Shaye guides each person toward practical steps and clearer purpose while respecting their pace.

Approaches for online healing and change

Shaye often blends attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help online clients. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying anxious or unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods as progress unfolds. That means trying different techniques and deciding together which offers the best fit for the client’s needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into tight schedules or use less bandwidth, chat works well for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday demands.
