About Kylie

Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skills practice and clear goal-setting so progress feels tangible.

She also offers help for issues like attachment wounds, adoption and foster care questions, ADHD-related struggles, and body image concerns.
Her background includes supporting those navigating sexual identity and LGBT-related stress. In sessions she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on solution-focused and motivational approaches to identify small, workable steps toward change.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People who prefer flexible formats can meet with Kylie through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She practices in North Carolina as an LCSW and conducts therapy in English.
Approach-focused care available online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening and following the person's lead. It emphasizes understanding each person's goals and building on strengths to make therapy useful and relevant for daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety and stress, then tries small experiments to change them. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations so they feel less overwhelming.
Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This keeps work practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a screen-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, coaching moments, and written exercises easy to fit into a busy day.
