About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on the client's needs and strengths. She emphasizes a client-centered approach and works to create a calm, practical space where people can name their goals and begin to move toward them. Kylie speaks plainly and focuses on small, usable steps rather than jargon-heavy plans.

With seven years of experience, Kylie has helped people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, grief, self-esteem challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. She pays attention to how life changes and career pressures affect day-to-day functioning.

Kylie often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns in thoughts and behavior. She brings mindfulness tools to help people manage strong emotions in the moment. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas shape brief goal-setting and practical next steps.

Her approach treats the person, not just the problem. Sessions tend to focus on what feels most urgent and what can realistically change between meetings. Kylie encourages skill-building exercises people can try at home and checks in about how those strategies are going.

People who want clear, collaborative work will find a straightforward style. Kylie values steady progress over quick fixes and works at a pace each person can handle. She is licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Together, these approaches help with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process can include checking in after a few sessions and adjusting methods as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or after work. It can also let people try brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what fits their schedule. Licensed professionals can guide how best to use remote sessions so the work stays focused and practical.
