About Lisa
Lisa Young is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and aims to make hard moments easier to handle. Lisa works in an approachable, down-to-earth way that many people find relatable.
She focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. That might look like short coaching-style check-ins, setting small goals, or learning new routines to reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Lisa often blends education with hands-on strategies so people leave with clear next steps. Trauma and grief are also areas Lisa frequently supports. She uses trauma-focused tools alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to address upsetting memories and the way they affect daily life.
She also helps people facing hospice, end-of-life concerns, and the loneliness that can follow major loss. Lisa is a person who understands neurodiversity from lived experience, having received a late ADHD diagnosis herself. That perspective informs how she helps people with ADHD find organizing strategies, manage frustration, and build habits that stick.
She also supports LGBT clients and people coping with intimacy and self-esteem issues. Outside of work she is married with two young children and keeps a small farm and creative hobbies. Those life roles shape her practical and flexible approach in sessions.
If someone wants straightforward support with realistic tools, Lisa aims to help them take the next step.

Approaches that fit online treatment needs
Lisa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger because it focuses on small changes that add up.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as a way to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the strong emotions they trigger. EMDR can help people who have experienced past trauma or post-traumatic stress symptoms feel less overwhelmed by those memories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped in the past, and any preferences about pace or style. Together they decide whether to focus on CBT tools, trauma-focused strategies, EMDR, or a blend of methods to match the person's needs.
Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give people flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or camera time isn't wanted. Live chat or text messaging can be a quick way to check in, practice skills, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
