Background and approach
He aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. His approach blends several evidence-based methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and elements of emotionally-focused work. That mix helps clients learn new thinking patterns, manage symptoms, and build stronger emotional connections where needed.
Dr. Young has experience helping people with attention and focus challenges across ages, and he brings experience supporting people in the LGBTQIA community through identity and relationship concerns. He also addresses grief, parenting stress, and problems that come from family of origin or caregiver roles.
People who choose him can expect clear goals, practical skills to try between sessions, and a collaborative stance on what to tackle next. He encourages small steps and checks progress regularly so work stays relevant to the client’s life and priorities.
Approach and access: therapy methods and online care
Dr. Young uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's own goals and values. That approach centers the conversation on what matters to the client and encourages self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also a core part of his work and focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right method is part of the work together. He will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape a blended plan. Sessions are collaborative and flexible so the approach can shift as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
