About Kenneth

Kenneth Young is an LCSW who works with people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients address concerns such as self-esteem, career issues, grief, addictions, intimacy-related problems, and identity-related stressors including LGBT matters and non-traditional relationship structures.

Young centers the therapeutic relationship as the primary vehicle for change, beginning from a person-centered foundation and adding practical methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness when they suit a client's goals. He also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to support goal-setting, meaning-making, and shifts in behavior and thought patterns.

Licensed in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Kenneth brings professional breadth to work that includes caregiver stress, polyamory and kink-informed topics, social anxiety, and life-purpose concerns. He invites prospective clients to take the first step toward support and frames the process as collaborative, tailoring interventions to individual needs and aspirations.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps clients explore goals and values at their own pace; this approach is well suited to people seeking empathy and clarity as they face change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for treating anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and habit change. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion, supporting stress reduction, improved focus, and better emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with each client to tailor methods to their needs, preferences, and goals. Together they assess what techniques fit best and adjust over time so care remains practical and responsive.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options allow ongoing access to licensed professionals without geographic barriers, make it easier to maintain consistency during busy periods, and offer multiple ways to engage depending on whether someone prefers real-time conversation or written check-ins.
