About Kenneth

Kenneth Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and struggles with addiction. He talks with clients about goals, motivation, and everyday problems in clear, straightforward language. He approaches people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. His first priority is building a trusting relationship so change can begin.

Kenneth uses a person-centered approach as the basis of his work. That means he follows the client's lead, listens closely, and adapts the conversation to what matters most to the person. He also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce stress and bring more focus to daily life.

He has professional licensure as an LCSW and carries credentials in both North Carolina and Pennsylvania. His background includes long experience in behavioral health and work with people from varied backgrounds. He combines practical techniques with open listening to address issues like sleeping problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.


If someone wants to talk about career pressures, money worries, social anxiety, or grief, he offers a calm setting to sort priorities and try small changes. The first step is simply to reach out and start the conversation.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Kenneth uses a person-centered approach that focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and gives practical steps to try different actions and ways of thinking. That method is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kenneth will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. He adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and practical, making decisions collaboratively rather than prescribing a single path.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow work or family breaks to be used for appointments. Some approaches, like brief motivational interviewing or focused CBT exercises, can be effective in shorter check-ins. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to pick session times and a format that suit everyday routines and communication needs.
