Kylie Yacuzzo, LCSW

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She emphasizes the person in the room as the expert on their own story and works side by side with clients to build confidence and motivation.

She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. That can mean talking through relationship struggles, coping with grief, or finding ways to manage burnout and compassion fatigue. Kylie also helps people who are navigating parenting challenges, ADHD, and career-related stress.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then offers techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set realistic goals and stay on track.

Kylie brings seven years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW, licensed in North Carolina. She draws on work with a range of concerns including caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, attachment and abandonment issues, and aging and geriatric issues when those topics come up in sessions.

Sessions aim to be practical and focused. Kylie helps people identify small, achievable steps that fit into a busy life. She supports clients as they try new strategies and adjusts the plan when needed.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach let clients set the pace, discuss what matters most, and shape goals that feel right to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In remote sessions CBT often includes practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed together to build new coping habits for anxiety, depression, or stress.

Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques translate well to online work through brief guided exercises and check-ins that help people practice through the week.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Confirm current session options before booking. The main practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into a busy schedule - it can make it easier to keep appointments, have shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Online sessions can also allow for different rhythms of work, like focused skills practice between meetings, without promising any particular format.
