About Jacob
Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical help for stress and anxiety. He works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and who want straightforward support for mood and behavior concerns. Jacob emphasizes a collaborative, down-to-earth style.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He aims to understand what a person is carrying and what matters to them before suggesting changes. His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas.
Background and approach
That means conversations center on values, choices, and living in ways that feel meaningful rather than only trying to eliminate symptoms. Jacob often supports people managing depression, bipolar mood shifts, substance and process addictions, and the fallout from chronic stress or compassion fatigue. He also helps with obsessive and compulsive behaviors, social anxiety, and issues common in young adulthood.
In meetings he is engaged and transparent, and he moves at a pace that fits each person. The focus is on honest, practical steps you can try between sessions and on building skills that fit your daily life. To begin, Jacob asks about your current concerns and goals so the work can match what matters to you.
He encourages a thoughtful, nonjudgmental approach as people learn new ways to cope and make changes that feel achievable.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Jacob uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take small actions that align with their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.He also draws on existential approaches that focus on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. Those conversations help when someone feels stuck, disconnected, or unsure about life direction and purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacob will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. The pace and focus are set together so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and texting supports brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
