About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes. Kylie aims to make beginning therapy feel doable and honest for worried people who need support.

She starts from the belief that each person knows their own story best. Sessions center on the client's priorities and strengths, with the therapist offering guidance and practical tools. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in real problems, not jargon.

Kylie draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness to address mood, motivation, and relationship concerns. She also uses solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to help people set small goals and build momentum. These methods are adapted to what a person needs in the moment.

Her experience includes helping with grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and codependency among many other areas. Kylie also supports people dealing with attachment questions, adoption and foster care issues, chronic health challenges, and body image concerns. She emphasizes coping skills that can be used between sessions.

Therapy with Kylie aims to be practical and collaborative. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and notice progress over time. To start, she encourages prospective clients to consider what they want to change and bring that into the first meeting.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Kylie uses client-centered methods that prioritize what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means conversations are led by the client's goals and concerns, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting back what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear exercises to practice between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple noticing skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kylie works together with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so sessions feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It also lets clients try different styles of work from their regular routines, and therapists can suggest short exercises that fit into a person's day.
