Kylie Yacuzzo

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who centers therapy on each person's strengths. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and offers steady support while people work toward clearer goals and healthier routines.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Career concerns, parenting strain, grief, and compassion fatigue are also part of her practice. Kylie helps people build confidence, improve communication, and regain motivation after major life changes.

Her approach blends client-centered work with practical tools. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness skills are taught to help ground the body and reduce reactivity, while solution-focused strategies keep sessions goal oriented and efficient.

Over seven years she has worked with a range of life challenges, including ADHD, adoption or foster-care related issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and attachment difficulties. She also supports people navigating sexual diversity, body image, and blended family concerns.

Kylie encourages small, manageable steps and collaborative planning. She aims for clear options people can try between sessions and adjusts the pace to match each person's needs. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady, practical support through that process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validating, and following the client's lead to set meaningful goals and priorities. In practice this means the therapist offers space to talk things through and then helps shape a plan that fits each person's life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck and tests small changes to see what helps. It works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and career-related worries by turning ideas into experiments and real-life practice.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills can help with overwhelm, anger, and managing bodily stress signals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match a client's goals, preferences, and comfort level, and can shift strategies if something isn't helpful. Clients and therapist decide together what to try next.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit around work or family responsibilities, and reduce travel time. It also allows short check-ins or focused skill practice between in-person appointments when that suits the client's routine.
