About Kenneth

Kenneth Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina and Pennsylvania with about 10 years in direct clinical work. He focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, depression, career worries, and relationship concerns. He also addresses areas such as addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, and questions around intimacy and sexual culture.

He follows a client-centered approach, which means sessions start with the person and their priorities. Kenneth blends that with practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people change patterns that cause pain. He also uses motivational interviewing to support goal setting and narrative therapy to reframe difficult stories people tell about themselves.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and problem-focused when needed. Kenneth works on skills for coping with anger, social anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiver stress. He also helps people thinking about midlife questions, fatherhood challenges, money worries, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

His background includes a range of behavioral health roles and work with diverse communities. The listing notes licensure in NC and PA, and he offers services in English. Practical matters such as session cost vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

To start, someone selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Kenneth aims to make the first step clear and manageable for people juggling family, work, and health demands.

BHow sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities in sessions. Online sessions keep that focus by letting the client set the agenda and pace while the therapist reflects and helps sort immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with concrete exercises. In an online setting this can include shared worksheets, behavioral experiments to try between sessions, and step-by-step skill practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or worry. These practices can be guided in session and assigned as short daily exercises to use between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work itself. Kenneth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He adjusts plans over time based on what helps and what feels workable for the client.

Session formats are not specified in this profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people value online sessions for fitting meetings into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making shorter check-ins possible during a workday. Discussing practical logistics up front helps match a session pattern to school, work, caregiving, and other commitments.
