About Kylie

Kylie Yacuzzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, career decisions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Kylie starts by listening to the facts of someone's situation. She treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than labels, and she helps people break down big problems into manageable actions.

Her approach pulls from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness skills. That means sessions often include talking through patterns, experimenting with small behavior changes, and practicing attention and breathing techniques to lower reactivity. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when someone wants help setting clear short-term goals.

Kylie is direct about realistic next steps. She helps people clarify what matters, try a change, and then review what worked. This is useful for someone who loses their temper with people close to them, gets stuck in resentment, or wants better ways to handle workplace frustration.

She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. Conversations aim to make daily life easier and reduce the small, repeated stresses that build up. For first steps she guides people through scheduling and initial planning so the work becomes part of everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. Online conversations can recreate that by prioritizing clear questions, summarizing what is said, and keeping the pace focused on the client's priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought and behavior patterns and then try small changes. In online sessions this often looks like setting simple homework between meetings, tracking reactions during the week, and reviewing what changed at the next appointment.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing techniques to lower emotional reactivity. These practices can be introduced in a session and then used in daily moments to reduce anger spikes and stress.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust what is used based on what helps. That way the plan evolves from the client's needs and preferences.

Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins or focused skill practice when time is limited. They also make it simpler to pair conversation with worksheets or brief real-time practices without rearranging daily routines.
