About Kenneth
Kenneth Young welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next step. He helps with everyday problems like anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, career concerns, addiction struggles, and depression. Kenneth uses a calm, respectful style so people can talk honestly and find practical ways forward.
He begins by listening to what matters most to each person. That person-centered way means conversations focus on the client’s goals and priorities.
Background and approach
He blends that with straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are also part of his approach, helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. He offers motivational interviewing techniques when people want to set goals or make a change but feel unsure where to start.
Narrative ideas are used to help people reframe difficult experiences and clarify values. Kenneth brings ten years of clinical experience and holds a licensed clinical social worker credential - LCSW. He is licensed in North Carolina and also lists a Pennsylvania license.
He has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and ADHD among others. Conversations with Kenneth aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what the person wants to do differently and small steps to get there.
The first step is simply reaching out and describing what feels most pressing right now.
How Kenneth applies therapy online and by phone
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. In online sessions this means conversations begin with the client’s priorities and progress at a pace that feels manageable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete steps to change patterns that cause distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy helps people build awareness of their thoughts and bodily responses so they can respond differently rather than react immediately; it supports coping with strong emotions and ongoing stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they pick methods that fit. That collaborative planning can shift over time as goals change or progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between longer sessions or to fit short conversations into a busy day. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, while keeping the focus on clear goals and usable steps forward.
