About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who practices with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches.

Background and approach

She brings seven years of clinical experience to work that commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and career-related stress. Kylie emphasizes clients' strengths and collaborates to build practical skills for navigating life transitions and emotional difficulties.

Her style centers on listening closely and helping people identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress, then experimenting with new strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also integrates motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when clients seek tangible change or clearer next steps.

Kylie aims to support clients through trauma-related concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and a range of interpersonal and identity-focused issues, including work with LGBT clients. Clients can expect a compassionate, strengths-based partnership that honors personal experience while offering evidence-informed tools.

Kylie encourages the first step toward growth and works with each person to set realistic goals, build resilience, and move toward a more satisfying life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; in an online setting it can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by breaking skills into practical exercises and homework. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-directed change; this approach supports exploration of identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance strategies that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for issues like grief, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. Together they will try options, adjust techniques, and prioritize what produces meaningful progress for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from varied schedules and locations. These formats allow the therapist to deliver CBT exercises, client-centered conversations, and mindfulness practices in ways that adapt to a client's routine while maintaining continuity of care.
