About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses a collaborative, down-to-earth style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and issues with self-esteem. Kylie emphasizes people’s strengths and works alongside them as they make changes. She is based in North Carolina and provides services in English.

With seven years of experience as an LCSW, Kylie focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. She draws on client-centered approaches to listen deeply and adapt to what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques help people build steady attention and calm during stressful moments.

Kylie also uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing approaches to help people set clear goals and find forward movement. These methods are often applied for challenges like parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, chronic illness strain, grief, and work-related overwhelm. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes rather than sweeping fixes.

People come to Kylie for help with specific concerns such as ADHD, body image, attachment or abandonment wounds, blended family difficulties, and communication problems. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, aging issues, adoption and foster care topics, and alternative sexuality or kink matters.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Sessions aim to identify what is most pressing, try practical strategies, and check what actually helps between meetings. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it teaches practical experiments and exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behavior.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels useful, try out techniques, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. Goals, daily life demands, and personal preferences guide which methods are emphasized in sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also permits using written exercises and mindful practices between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
