About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience. She centers work on each person’s strengths and supports practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier mood. Kylie uses straightforward, collaborative sessions to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

She brings an easy, respectful style to conversations about relationships, parenting, grief, and LGBTQ concerns. Sessions focus on what is useful now - small changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Kylie speaks plainly and listens closely so goals stay realistic and reachable. Her background includes a range of settings in North Carolina where she helped people facing anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She also has experience with attachment and blended family situations, adoption and foster care questions, and long-term illness or caregiving stress.

Therapy may use skills-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside mindfulness practices and client-centered talk. Sessions can also draw on solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to build momentum and make decisions feel clearer. Kylie works with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs.

Taking a first step can feel hard. Kylie aims to make scheduling and early sessions simple and practical. She helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and build everyday habits that support long-term change.

Therapeutic methods and online sessions that fit daily life

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens without judgment and helps reflect what matters most to the client, which is useful for building motivation and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kylie will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust techniques, and set small, practical goals so progress feels visible and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and ongoing text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limits, and keep momentum between sessions. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and helps people access consistent care from licensed professionals in North Carolina.

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.
