About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a client-centered approach to help people cope with life changes and everyday stress. She focuses on building on each person's strengths and working alongside them to set realistic goals. Kylie keeps language simple and practical, so sessions feel direct and helpful for busy lives.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to address anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. That means gently challenging unhelpful thoughts, and learning small, actionable skills to manage mood and worry. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods help when people need clearer goals or a push to get started.

Over seven years of practice in North Carolina have given her experience with relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue, and work-related stress. She also supports people facing ADHD, attachment and adoption-related issues, body image worries, and long-term health challenges. Kylie aims to make progress feel practical rather than overwhelming.

Sessions emphasize listening first, then finding a few concrete steps to try between meetings. Conversations are paced to match what each person needs, whether that means short-term coaching or ongoing support. The focus is on what helps most in daily life.

If someone wants to start, Kylie asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. She works in English and holds an LCSW credential licensed in North Carolina.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist starts by understanding each person's priorities and then tailors the conversation to their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills for spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often works well through discussion and between-session exercises. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centered conversations, adding CBT techniques for anxiety, or using mindfulness practices to support stress management. The plan can change as progress is made.

Session logistics vary, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use therapeutic tools in the context of everyday life, so skills can be practiced between meetings and reviewed with the therapist.
