About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, supportive therapy. She centers sessions on each person's experience and strengths. Kylie aims to help people feel more confident and handle stressful moments more effectively.

She uses conversational methods so sessions feel like a guided, problem-solving talk. Kylie listens for what’s working and what’s getting in the way, then helps people try new steps between meetings. She emphasizes small, doable changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Kylie has seven years of experience in clinical settings and community care across North Carolina. That background includes helping people manage stress, relationship and communication struggles, grief, and motivation. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, career strain, and self-esteem concerns.

Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, and she has supported people with adoption and foster care issues. Kylie also addresses neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and she discusses challenges related to chronic illness and caregiving stress.

Sessions draw from client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Kylie treats each person as the expert of their life and collaborates on goals that fit daily routines. The result is a straightforward plan people can try between sessions to notice real shifts.

How therapeutic approaches fit in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on each person's perspective and strengths, making sessions collaborative and supportive. It helps people explore goals and feel heard as they work through stress or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often includes exercises and small experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques can be useful for worry, emotional overwhelm, and improving focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before to shape a plan. That plan can draw from multiple methods and will be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, supports shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Ask about the scheduling process and how sessions are arranged so you can choose what fits your day.
