About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina. She uses a person-centered style that puts the client's goals first and looks for practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety. Kylie frames therapy as a partnership and encourages people to build on strengths they already have.

She focuses on everyday concerns like low mood, worry, relationship conflict, and challenges with self-esteem. Kylie also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, career transitions, and the exhaustion that comes from caregiving or compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with people navigating ADHD-related struggles and identity concerns within LGBT communities.

Kylie draws on several approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques help break unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies offer short-term tools for coping and moving forward.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions often include setting small goals, trying specific skills between meetings, and checking what helps most. Kylie treats clients as collaborators and adjusts methods to match real-life needs.

She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and brings seven years of professional experience. Kylie works in North Carolina and offers therapy in English. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Kylie uses focused approaches for online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with what feels most urgent to the person and then build goals from there. This approach is helpful for people unsure where to start or who want someone to help them clarify next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that keep problems going. CBT works well for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and may mix tools from different approaches as progress is made.

Session logistics and exact formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they fit into everyday routines rather than relying on long in-person visits.
