About Deonia
Deonia Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She uses plain language and clear tools to help people manage strong emotions, including anger, and to face everyday stressors. Her work aims to reduce overwhelm and help people make steady changes in their lives.
She draws on therapies that focus on how relationships and habits shape feelings and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation and handling intense moments. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships influence current connections. Deonia has six years of clinical experience as a LICSW and LCSW in Georgia and she also holds the CSW credential.
She combines structured skill-building with short-term problem solving. Sessions may include practice of new skills, goal-setting, and reviewing what worked between meetings. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, life transitions, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.
Additional focus areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues around abandonment and foster care. Sessions are offered in English and delivered by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Using practical therapy approaches online
Deonia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with motivation. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which helps when feelings become overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match those goals. Together they review what helps and adjust strategies over time so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations and keep visual cues in the conversation. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult and are good for focused check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent with daily life.
