About Kenneth
Kenneth Young offers straightforward help for parents feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burned out. He speaks plainly about stress, depression, sleep problems, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy concerns. A parent reading this will find clear, practical support aimed at everyday problems rather than abstract theory.
He uses a person-centered stance to start. That means he listens first and shapes work around each person's values and goals. From there he adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to manage thoughts, moods, and sleep.
Background and approach
He also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when people want clearer direction or to rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. Kenneth holds a licensed clinical social worker credential, LCSW, and practices in North Carolina. He has ten years of clinical experience in behavioral health and has worked with people from a variety of backgrounds.
Sessions focus on concrete steps you can try between meetings. That may mean testing small behavior changes, tracking sleep and mood, or practicing brief mindfulness skills. He also offers coaching-style conversations for goal setting and motivation when that better fits a person’s needs.
If you decide to begin, he asks a few questions up front to match treatment to your priorities. From there he and you set the pace and choose approaches that feel most useful.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy means starting with the person and their priorities. In practice that looks like listening closely, asking what matters to you, and shaping sessions around your goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and sleep. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kenneth will work with each person to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying brief CBT tools for anxiety, adding mindfulness practices for stress and sleep, or using narrative techniques to rethink personal stories. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, flexible check-ins between meetings. These options help keep momentum and let people practice skills when they arise in daily life.Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
