Kenneth Young, LCSW

Kenneth Young is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He works with individuals on self-esteem, career challenges, addictions, grief, parenting stress, and issues related to intimacy and sexual culture. He frames work around real life goals and practical steps instead of jargon. He uses a person-centered approach at the core of sessions, focusing on respect and sensitivity. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client and move at their pace. He blends cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices when those tools fit the situation. Kenneth also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to support change. These approaches help people examine habits, reshape unhelpful thoughts, and connect actions to values. He aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change. He holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, with practice in North Carolina and Pennsylvania over many years. That background includes work across a variety of behavioral health settings. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Kenneth emphasizes a respectful, compassionate relationship as the starting point. He guides people through setting goals, testing small changes, and tracking progress so work outside sessions matters to daily life.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and building a respectful connection. Online sessions let that same conversational work happen in shorter, focused blocks so clients can try ideas between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and changing behaviors. In remote sessions CBT often uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step planning to tackle anxiety, mood, or sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and grounding practices into daily life. Online appointments can include short guided exercises and check-ins about how those practices fit into a person’s routine. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, situation, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and run. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into busy days, supports consistent check-ins, and lets them practice skills in between sessions without added travel.
