Lisa Young

Lisa Young is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She offers direct, down-to-earth support for people managing ADHD, trauma, intimacy concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. Lisa also works with issues like guilt and shame, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Her style is warm and practical. She uses straightforward talk, coaching, and teaching to help people make small changes that feel doable. Sessions focus on real problems and realistic steps, not jargon or lengthy theory lessons.

Lisa draws on about 15 years of clinical experience and adapts her approach as needs change. She often starts from a trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy stance and blends other methods to match what a person needs in the moment. That might mean focusing on thoughts and behavior, addressing trauma memories, or using parts work to understand inner conflicts.

She speaks from personal experience as well, sharing perspective as a parent and a person who received a late ADHD diagnosis. That background informs her empathy for people juggling busy lives and complex feelings.

People who choose Lisa can expect a collaborative relationship that balances support with practical tools. She aims to make difficult situations more manageable and to help clients move toward clearer goals and steadier days.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

The therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of painful memories by processing them in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, history, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan over time together.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time on a workday. It can also allow people to work with a licensed professional without changing their daily routine, and techniques like CBT and parts work translate well to conversational sessions online. If EMDR is recommended, the therapist will discuss how that method is adapted for remote work during planning.
