Deonia Young, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to make conversations feel grounded and useful.

She uses practical approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that get in the way and trying new ways of responding. That might include practicing coping skills, testing small changes, or setting clear goals for the week.

Deonia pays attention to attachment issues and family of origin concerns. She also supports people coping with adoption and foster care topics, abandonment, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions. These areas are woven into sessions when they relate to the person's current struggles.

People come to her for help with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and communication problems. She helps clients map immediate steps they can take, then reviews what worked and what needs adjusting. Progress is tracked in simple, concrete ways.

Her background includes clinical social work practice across different settings. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment. To begin, visitors complete the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Deonia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and between-session tasks. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions, which can be useful for relationship strain and family of origin issues.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. That collaborative testing helps find what fits a person's needs and rhythm rather than relying on a single technique.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused check-ins when life is busy. It also lets clients try skill practice and homework between meetings, so progress continues outside sessions. Licensed professionals will talk through what to expect and choose approaches that match the client's goals.
