About Kenneth
Kenneth Young is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. He focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. He aims to make first conversations calm and straightforward for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
He centers sessions on the person in front of him, using a client-centered approach to build trust and clarity. From there he draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Background and approach
He also uses motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to help people set goals and rewrite stuck stories about themselves. Kenneth holds licenses as an LCSW in North Carolina and Pennsylvania and brings about 10 years of work in therapy settings to his practice.
He has experience with a wide range of issues, including relationship concerns, parenting stress, sexual diversity and kink-related topics, grief, trauma, addiction, and career challenges. Sessions move at a practical pace. He helps clients set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust plans when needed.
Many people come for help with sleep, self-esteem, coping with life changes, or managing strong emotions. Conversations are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, chat, or messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site.
How Kenneth Uses Talk, Skill Work, and Online Tools
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and focus. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve concentration, which can be helpful for worry, stress, and ADHD-related difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kenneth treats the choice of method as collaborative and will work with each client to decide whether more CBT skill practice, mindfulness exercises, narrative work about life stories, or a blend feels most useful for their goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into short breaks or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging are options for quick check-ins and between-session support. These formats make it easier to keep momentum, try new strategies, and remain consistent with sessions while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
