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 changes. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and motivation. Kylie frames therapy as a collaborative process and treats each person as the expert on their own story.

With seven years of experience, she draws on several methods to meet different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Kylie also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when clients want clear goals and faster progress. Those approaches help with decision-making, career shifts, and boosting follow-through. They can be useful for people navigating parenting stress, relationship strain, or grief.

She has worked with concerns common to women, including self-esteem, body image, parenting pressures, and caregiving stress. Kylie also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while honoring each person’s values. Kylie helps clients put small changes into practice between sessions and build routines that fit real life. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on usable tools.

Therapy is offered from her North Carolina licensure. Conversations are held in English and take shape through several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Practical approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s concerns without assuming one right answer. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete skills for reducing anxiety, shifting low mood, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions with less reactivity. This can be helpful for stress, overwhelm, and managing emotional spikes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process may combine techniques and adjust over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
