About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, career shifts, and issues that stem from one’s family of origin.

Kylie treats problems in straightforward ways. She asks about what’s been happening and what the client wants to change. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that started in early family life and on practical steps to shift those patterns in daily life.

She uses client-centered conversations to help people notice strengths they already have. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and to test small changes. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to build attention and calm when stress or anxiety rise.

Kylie also brings solution-focused and motivational strategies when someone needs shorter-term coaching around clear goals. These tools are used to set manageable steps and to track progress between meetings. She frames challenges like communication problems, abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment issues, and caregiving stress as areas she can address with practical work.

Her background includes seven years in clinical settings working with a wide range of concerns. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what a person can do differently this week. People who want to examine how their early family experiences shape current relationships may find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. In practice this means sessions are built around the client’s concerns, with the therapist reflecting what she hears and helping people identify their own priorities and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions break problems into small parts, test new behaviors, and use practical exercises to shift patterns that cause anxiety or relationship strain.

Mindfulness techniques help build attention to present-moment experience and reduce reactivity to stress. Simple breathing and noticing practices may be suggested to manage moments of overwhelm between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kylie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. This may mean mixing approaches or focusing on brief, goal-directed work when that is more useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match practical needs, and Kylie will discuss which arrangement makes the most sense during the initial steps.
