About Kenneth
Kenneth Young is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and a wide range of life challenges.
Background and approach
He frames his work around respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to create a collaborative space where clients can explore goals, address addictions, work through trauma, and navigate issues like parenting, career concerns, or questions about intimacy and identity.
Young emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and draws primarily from a person-centered orientation while integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and other approaches to suit each person's needs. His practice also attends to specific areas including ADHD, compassion fatigue, grief, bipolar concerns, and a spectrum of relational configurations and alternative sexual cultures.
Licensed as an LCSW in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Kenneth brings ten years of clinical experience to his present practice. He invites people who are ready to take a step forward to begin a process of exploration and skill-building tailored to their goals.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Kenneth uses an integrative, client-centered stance alongside evidence-informed methods to support practical change and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore values, identity, and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity, assist with emotion regulation, and complement other strategies for chronic worry or distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Kenneth frames treatment as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods align with a person’s goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to sessions, adapting tools over time as needs change.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and allow therapy to fit varied routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other locations and support ongoing continuity of care through multiple convenient channels.
