About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Kylie also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

She uses common-sense, person-focused methods in sessions. Kylie treats people as the experts on their lives and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions are straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on small, doable changes that fit into daily life.

Kylie draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice patterns and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce stress and increase awareness of present-moment experience. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs to find internal reasons to move forward.

Her background includes work with trauma, abuse, and a wide range of family-related issues such as blended family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment questions. She also addresses less commonly discussed topics like kink and alternative sex culture, avoidant personality patterns, and caregiver burden.

People who choose her often want practical tools and clear steps. Kylie aims to make therapy accessible and to help clients turn insights into everyday actions. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood before deciding on steps to take.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship habits.

Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices can be short and practical, useful when stress or overwhelm makes it hard to think clearly.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving duties.
