About Stephanie
Stephanie Young is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical, behavior-oriented work. She uses straightforward tools to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and addictions. Stephanie aims to make therapy a down-to-earth process that feels useful from the first session.
She draws on 13 years of experience working with mood concerns, relationship issues, communication problems, and life transitions. Much of her work has involved addiction and dual diagnosis, so she is comfortable addressing overlapping struggles like depression and anxiety alongside substance concerns.
Background and approach
Stephanie also supports people navigating adoption and foster care situations, blended family challenges, and young adult issues. Her day-to-day approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered conversation. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes, while also listening and adapting to each person's needs.
She likes to set clear, doable goals and track progress over time. Sessions often include coaching on communication skills, planning realistic steps, and trying experiments between meetings. Stephanie can use motivational interviewing when someone feels stuck and wants to build the drive to change.
She often uses solution-focused ideas to keep the work practical and short-term when needed. People choose her when they want an active therapist who balances challenge and support. Stephanie works with adults on issues such as social anxiety and phobias, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She conducts online sessions from Utah in English.
Approaches that guide online counseling
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the person's pace, reflects what matters, and helps people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or blend methods based on the person's goals, needs, and preferences. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text help with quick check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between meetings.
