Approaches Kenneth Young Uses and Online Therapy Options

Kenneth Young draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to support people in therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental relationship that honors each person’s goals and perspectives - it is helpful for exploring identity, relationships, and motivation for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Kenneth approaches this as a collaborative process. He listens to each person’s needs, preferences, and goals and adjusts techniques over time so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Kenneth is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules or distance from an office. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from where you are, and choose the communication style that best suits your life and comfort.
