Deonia Young

Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. She brings six years of clinical experience to her work and uses a warm, flexible approach to help people facing common life stresses. Deonia focuses on everyday concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. She also supports people managing relationship and family tensions, anger, self-esteem, and symptoms of ADHD.

Her sessions aim to create an open space where clients can speak without judgment. Deonia blends practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas. That mix is used to build skills, manage strong emotions, and set small, achievable goals.

She has additional experience with attachment concerns, abandonment and adoption issues, caregiver stress, body image, midlife questions, and feelings of isolation. Deonia often helps people sort through family-of-origin problems, communication breakdowns, and the guilt or shame that follows difficult events.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She works with each person to identify what matters most and then practices strategies together. The aim is steady progress you can take into daily life.

To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Deonia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn practical skills. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying different, realistic thinking and behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills to manage intense feelings and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deonia will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She adapts methods over time, checking in about what is helping and what might need to change.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also lets people do focused skill practice between sessions and quickly return to daily tasks after a meeting. Licensed professionals often tailor session length and tempo to match practical needs, such as shorter check-ins for a workday break or longer sessions for deeper processing.
