About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Kylie also works with career worries, coping with life changes, ADHD, and people in the LGBT community.

Kylie uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Conversations move toward practical steps clients can try between sessions. Expect a focus on problem-solving and clearer ways to manage emotions.

Her background includes work with trauma-related concerns and motivation issues. Kylie draws on cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help people notice reactions before they escalate.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques guide short-term goals and steps. That approach is helpful for people needing quick, concrete strategies for things like workplace anger or parenting stress. Kylie also addresses related areas such as attachment questions, caregiver stress, and body image.

Sessions emphasize clearer communication, realistic daily strategies, and manageable behavior changes. People come away with tools to reduce snapping at loved ones, handle frustration at work, and lower the buildup of resentment. The focus is on practical change rather than labels or long explanations.

How sessions work

How core approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice that means sessions revolve around what matters most to the person and build on their existing strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to notice feelings before they escalate, which can be useful for anger and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and circumstances, and adjust the mix of techniques over time. Clients and the therapist set short-term goals and review what is or isn't working at regular intervals.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during breaks, and video sessions let people use visual cues when discussing communication or relationship patterns. Phone or simpler formats may demand less bandwidth or allow quieter participation when needed. Ask about format choices to match the practical needs of everyday routines.
