Kylie Yacuzzo, LCSW

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on real goals, helping clients name problems and try small changes that add up over time.

She favors cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. That approach pairs well with client-centered work, where the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of each session. Mindfulness techniques are also used to steady attention and reduce reactivity when emotions feel overwhelming.

With seven years of professional experience, Kylie draws on hands-on practice rather than jargon. She helps people address relationship strain, grief, self-esteem concerns, and parenting stress by breaking issues into manageable steps. Coaching-style conversations support career shifts, motivation, and coping with change.

Kylie also has experience with needs related to ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, attachment concerns, and body image. She adapts conversations to what each person brings and offers practical tools to use between sessions.

Sessions are available to people in North Carolina and are conducted in English. Kylie approaches therapy as a collaborative effort, listening first and then helping build plans that fit daily life.

How CBT, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness Work Online

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. Online sessions let the therapist and client practice new skills, set concrete goals, and track progress between meetings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.

Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and follows the client’s lead while offering practical feedback. This helps people who need an understanding space to sort out decisions and values.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce emotional reactivity. Those tools are easy to try during a video call or in a short text check-in, and they can be used when strong feelings arise in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can serve for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, and other routines.
