About Kenneth
Kenneth Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and issues around identity and sexuality. He also supports those navigating grief, trauma, parenting strains, and problems with sleep and focus.
Kenneth starts from a person-centered stance, which means he listens first and follows what matters most to the person in front of him. He uses that listening to shape practical steps that feel doable. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small experiments you can try between meetings. That might mean tracking triggers, practicing brief breathing or grounding skills, or testing different ways of responding in tense moments. He also uses narrative and motivational approaches to clarify values and increase commitment to change.
Kenneth has practice across a range of life stages and concerns, including career stress, addiction, ADHD, and non-normative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. He notes experience with issues of fatherhood, caregiving strain, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationships.
His approach is straightforward and practical. People can expect direct conversation, clear options, and collaborative planning to reduce angry outbursts, simmering resentment, or the stress that feeds them.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions let the therapist follow what you bring and respond to your priorities, making it easier to shape work around your goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and often uses brief exercises and homework. Those tools adapt well to remote sessions through shared agendas and simple between-session tasks. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which can be practiced during or between online meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with each person to decide whether to lean into CBT strategies, mindfulness practice, narrative exploration, or a combination. The plan is reviewed and adjusted based on how helpful it feels and what fits your life and goals.
